X = 60°
Because the square in the corner tells you that it is 90° (right angle)
So your equation to solve for x would be...
x + 30 = 90
Now you need to isolate the x.
Subtract both sides by 30.
x + 0 = 90 - 30
x = 60
22.5/(x-6) + 22.5/(x+6) = 9
multiply by x-6
=> (x-6)22.5/(x-6) + (x-6)22.5/(x+6) = 9(x-6)
=> 22.5 + (x-6)22.5/(x+6) = 9(x-6)
multiply by x+6
=> (x+6)22.5 + (x+6)(x-6)22.5/(x+6) = 9(x-6)(x+6)
=> (x+6)22.5 + (x-6)22.5 = 9(x-6)(x+6)
distribute
=> 22.5x+6(22.5) + 22.5x - 6(22.5) = 9(x^2 - 36)
=> 45x = 9x^2 - 9(36)
=> 0 = 9x^2 - 45x - 9(36)
divide by 9
=> 0 = x^2 - 5x - 36
=> 0 = x^2 - 5x - 36
=> 0 = (x - 9)(x + 4)
x=9 and -4
.04 hundredths. I cant believe i am still doing this in middle school.<span />
The first option would be the correct answer because you have the outer angle at 121 degrees and a straight angle adds up to 180 degrees so 121 - 180 = 59. Now you have the original angle on the inside which is 47 degrees and you add 47 + 59 and you get 106. Since this shape is a triangle you would do 180 - 106 to get your last angle which would be 74. Hope this helps!
