Question

I need to solve for x, help please.

Answer 1

Hello,

x+2+x+74=180

2x+76=180

2x=180-76

2x=104

2x/2=104/2

x=52

Good lessons!

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 52   i hope this helps!   :)

Step-by-step explanation:

so first you gotta realize that every triangle has an interior angle measurement sum of 180 degrees

so we are given 3 angles   74 degrees  x + 2  and x

we now are going to put this into an equation   74 + x + 2 + x = 180

now lets combine like terms to get   76 + 2x = 180

then we are going to subtract the 76 from both sides   2x = 104

now lets divide both sides by 2   x = 52

so x = 52

we can plug in the value of x into both of the other equations to find the angle measurement

52 degrees

52 + 2 = 54 degrees

and then we have 74 degrees

add the 52, 54, and the 74 to make sure it is equal to 180 degrees

106 + 74 = 180

so yes, x does indeed equal 52 degrees
