Question

Could someone please tell me or explain how to solve these types of equations?? you don’t have to do these problems specifically, but just tell me how to do it
also sorry for the bad quality,,,

Answer 1

Okay so you know a straight line is equal to 180 degrees, so you set them up in an algebraic equation. (5x+2)+48=180 subtract 48 first to get 5x+2=132 Subtract the 2 this time to get 130. Now you end up with 5x=130. Here you divide 130 by 5 to get X=26. If you just need to find the degree of that angle tho you can stop after the first subtraction because the math tells you (5x+2)=132 degrees.
