Question

Need help asap solve for x!

Answer 1

please use my image as a reference (figure not drawn to scale).

AB is a straight line and the angle of a straight line = 180°

so that means $5x + (6+x) = 180$, solve for $x$:

$5x+(6+x)=180\\5x+6+x=180$combine like-terms

$5x+x=180-6\\6x=174\\x=\frac{174}{6}$

$x=29$°

if you want to make sure of the answer, plug in $x$ in the equation:

$5x+(6+x)=180\\5(29)+(6+29)=180\\145+35=180\\180=180$
