More algebra pretending to be geometry. These questions should be banished from the planet.
A transversal across parallel lines generates the usual congruent and supplementary angles; here our pair are supplementary, adding to 180 degrees. Geometry done.
(2x + 12.8) + 117.6 = 180
2x = 180 - (12.8 + 117.6) = 49.6
x = 49.6/2 = 24.8
Answer: 24.8
His new position is 3.75 meters 12.25 - 8.5 = 3.75.
Her new position is 20 ft 9 1/2 + 10 1/2 = 20.
1.6m-4.8=-1.6m
Subtract 1.6m to both sides to get
-4.8=-3.2m
Divide both sides by -3.2to get
1.5=x
Hope this helped!
