Question

If the angles is 180 and there is 3 parts (3x+94) and (x+36) and (2x-4) what is x

Answer 1

Hehe, I thought I'd get this one wrong, but x=10. Remember, that a straight angle must add up to 180 degrees. So I added all the angles; (3x+94)+(x+36)+(2x-4)=180. I took away the parentheses having 3x+94+x+36+2x-4=180. Remember from Algebra 1, to simplify terms, we add the polynomials. 94+36-4=126. 3x+x+2x= 6x. Our simplified equation is 120+6x=180. Now we can answer. 180-120=60. 60=6x. So therefore, for all x, x equals 10.
