Question

Find the angle measure. The measure of angle XYZ is

Answer 1

Answer:

∠XYZ = 102

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step is to solve x from ΔWXY

∠W + ∠X + ∠Y = 180

where ∠W = 5x + 2

           ∠X = 7x + 4

           ∠Y = 180 - (15x - 18)

                 = 198 - 15x

now plugin values into the equation:

5x + 2   +   7x + 4  +  198 - 15x  = 180

combine similar terms:

5x + 7x - 15x = 180 - 2 - 4 - 198

simplify:

-3x = -24

x = -24 / -3

x = 8

2nd step is to substitute x = 8 into ∠XYZ

∠XYZ = 15x - 18

∠XYZ = 15(8)  - 18

∠XYZ = 102
