Answer:
E. 4x -180
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles QPB and RAP are corresponding, so congruent. Angles QPR and ARP are alternate interior angles, so congruent. Triangles BQP and PQR are isosceles, so angle PBQ ≅ angle QPB and angle RQP = 180-2x.
The total of angles RQP and RQC is angle PQC, an external angle to triangle PQB. We know the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles. That means ...
angle PQC = angle QPB +angle QBP
y +(180 -2x) = x + x
y = 4x -180 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract (180-2x) from both sides
The two angles are the same value. To find, think of the equation 3<em>x</em>+50=6<em>x</em>-10. Put the 6<em>x</em> to the other side of the equation. You shall get -3x+50=-10. Move the 50 to the other side, and you'll end up with -3<em>x</em>=-60. Divide each number by -3 to find <em>x</em> now. Your final answer will be <em>x=20</em>.
Answer: <em>x=20</em>
