Answer:

x = 8 units, measure of angle AFE = 60 degrees, measure of angle CFD = 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding x:

You know all three of the given measures add up to 180 because they are on the same side of the line. Write an equation and solve for x.

6x + 2 + 8x + 6 + 7x + 4 = 180

21x = 168 --> x = 8

Angle AFE:

Substitute the value of x in the given measure.

7x + 4 = 7*8 + 4 = 56 + 4 = 60

Measure of angle CFD:

Angle AFE is it's vertical angle, so their measures (60 degrees) are equal.

Set up an equation to find x, Explain why you used this equation

Answer: 180= 38+(17x+1)+(3x+1), All the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, so I made all the add measures equal to 180 degrees.

Just solve that equation to find x. Then used then plug in the x value to (17x+1). After you solve that put it equal to 2y to solve for y.

So the y equation would look like: 2y=(17x+1) (but you would have solved for x and then plugged it in to the equation)
