Question

Find the value of x. Show your work, congruent triangles

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

130 + y = 180   {linear pair}

          y = 180 - 130

         y = 50°

3x - 6 +8x + 4 + 50 = 180        {Angle sum property of triangle}

3x + 8x - 6 +  4 + 50 = 180          {Combine like terms}

          11x + 48          = 180

                    11x        = 180 - 48

                          11x = 132

                            x = 132/11

x = 12°
