Answer:
x = -8
<XCE = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
In any question like this, there are 8 possible answers. Of the 8, 4 are acute angles and 4 are obtuse. So any pair are either equal to each other, or they are supplementary. In this case the two given angles are equal.
We have a little bit of both in this question.
Solution
3x + 174 = - 7x + 94 Alternate exterior angles. Add 7x to both sides.
3x+7x +174 = 94 Combine
10x + 174 = 94 Subtract 174 from both sides
10x = 94 - 174
10x = - 80 Divide by 10
x = - 80/10
x = - 8
===================
Check
3x + 174 = -24 + 174 = 150
-7x + 94 = -7*-8 + 94
-7x + 94 = 56 + 94 = 150
<XCE
<XCE = 180 - (3x + 174)
<XCE = 180 - (-24 + 174)
<XCE = 180 - (150)
<XCE = 30

Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying 5x + -7 = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. -7 + 5x + -2x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x -7 + 3x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 -7 + 3x = 8 + 0 -7 + 3x = 8 Add '7' to each side of the equation. -7 + 7 + 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0 0 + 3x = 8 + 7 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: 8 + 7 = 15 3x = 15 Divide each side by '3'. x = 5 Simplifying x = 5
