Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
<1 and the 142-deg angle are vertical, so m<1 = 142 deg
The angle measuring 3x + 2 and <1 are same-side interior angles. If the lines are parallel, then those two angles are supplementary.
3x + 2 + 142 = 180
3x + 144 = 180
3x = 36
x = 12
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an isosceles triangle you can tell by the two congruent/equal angles
angle A is congruent/equal to angle C by definition the two sides will be equal.
x-4=3x-8
1. get all you x's on one side. by subtracting x from both sides you don't have to deal with dividing by negatives later on.
x-x-4=3x-x-8
-4=2x-8
now you want to get x by itself so add 8 to both sides
4= 2x
x is still not by itself so divide both sides by 2
x=2
