Answer:
Question 1: x = 6
Question 2: Correct!
Question 3: x = 11
Question 4: Correct!
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1:
Angle 22x - 2 DOESN'T equal 50 degrees. Only Alternate Interior Angles will equal each other. These two angles are Same Side Interior Angles, meaning if you added them together, they would equal 180 degrees.
Knowing that adding 22x - 2 and 50 will equals 180 degrees, here's how we solve for x:
First, subtract 50 from 180 to find what angle 22x - 2 will equal:
180 - 50 = 130
130 = 22x - 2
Now use basic algebra to solve for x:
130 = 22x - 2
(add 2 to both sides)
132 = 22x
(divide both sides by 22)
x = 6
Question 3:
Angle 5x + 15 DOESN'T equal 9x + 11. They make up a line, which is 180 degrees, so they are supplementary angles.
With that in mind, to solve for x, add the two equations and set it equal to 180:
5x + 15 + (9x + 11) = 180
Now use basic algebra to solve for x:
5x + 15 + 9x + 11 = 180
(add like terms)
14x + 26 = 180
(subtract 26 from both sides)
14x = 154
(divide 14 from both sides)
x = 11
