To solve for x, put all of the angle measurements on one side of an equation and set it equal to 360, because the sum of any exterior angles is 360 degrees. hope this helped!
Answer:
(x+1)^2 = 49
x = 6 x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 2x – 48 = 0
Add 48 to each side
x^2 + 2x =48
Take the coefficient of x
2
Divide by 2
2/2=1
Square it
1^2 =1
x^2 + 2x +1=48+1
x^2 +2x+1 = 49
(x+1)^2 = 49
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x+1)^2) =±sqrt( 49)
x+1 = ±7
Subtract 1 from each side
x+1-1 = -1 ±7
x = -1+7 x = -1 -7
x = 6 x = -8
