Answer:
∠a = 10°
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of ∠a = x
The measure of ∠b = 4x-30
It is also mentioned that the measure a and measure b are vertical angles. We need to find the value of a.
For vertically opposite angles,
∠a = ∠b
x = 4x-30
or
4x-30=x
Taking like terms together,
4x-x= 30
3x = 30
x = 10
So, the meausre of ∠a is equal to 10°.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: x = 7/10
Discussion:
To eliminate fractions multiply each side by 10:
10 ( 9/5x - 2/5 ) = 10 * ( 8x +3)/10 or
10 * ( 9/5)x - 10 *(2/5) = 8x + 3 or
9 *2 x - 2*2 = 8x +3 or
18x - 4 = 8x + 3. Subtract 8x for each side:
18x - 8x - 4 = (8x - 8x) + 3 or
10x -4 = 0x + 3 or
10x -4 = 3 or
10x = 7
x = 7/10
