Please help I don’t understand it’s like angles and stuff picture above. 20 POINTS WILK MARK BRAINLEST FOR RIGHT ANSWERS ONLY

Answer 1

Answer:

1. x=22

2. x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Opposite exterior angles are congruent, so 6x-44=88. You would add 44 to both sides, making the equation 6x=132, and then divide both sides by 6 to get your answer of x=22.

2. Again, opposite exterior angles are congruent, so 15x+6=9x+54. You would subtract 9x from both sides, making the equation 6x+6=54, then subtract 6 from both sides, making the equation 6x=48, and then divide both sides by 6 to get your answer of x=8.

(hope this helps!)

Answer 2

Since 6x - 44 and 88 degrees are the same (exterior angles), we can start off with the first equation, 6x - 44 = 88

6x - 44 = 88

    +44    +44

6x      =   132

÷6         ÷6

x  = 22

same with the second problem (exterior angles are equal):

equation:

15x + 6 = 9x + 54

       -6              -6

15x    = 9x + 48

-9x      -9x

6x   =    48

÷6         ÷6

x   =   8

Hope this helped! :D
