Question

How do I solve for x?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=11 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a property of a triangle where the sum of two of the interior angles is equal to 180-(last interior angle). In this case, 180-(last interior angle) is equal to 7x-1, because angles BAE and BAC are supplementary, which means that they add up to 180 degrees.

So, we can set up an equation

(56)+(2x-2)=(7x-1)

Solving, we get

56+2x-2=7x-1

56-2=5x-1

54+1=5x

55=5x

11=x
