Answer 1

Answer:

B, x=40 is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

DAC is one half of the right angle and CAB is another half. So, you know that since a right angle is 90 degrees, DAC + CAB must equal 90.

They have given you equations for both angles, so now its just a matter of rearranging and solving for x.

DAC = x

CAB = 2x - 30

DAC + CAB = 90

Using the equations above, we can come up with this final equation:

x + 2x - 30 = 90

If we add the x together:

3x - 30 = 90

If we move the 30 to the other side by adding it to 90

3x = 90 + 30

3x = 120

If we divide 120 by 3:

x= 40

Therefore, the answer is B

Hope this helped : )
