Question

I need help :( its asking to solve for X​

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 57$

Explanation:

$2y + (4y - 36) = 180$ (linear pair)

Solve for y

$2y + 4y - 36 = 180$

$6y - 36 = 180$

Add 36 from each side

$6y - 36 + 36 = 180 + 36$

$6y = 216$

Divide both sides by 6

$y = 36$

✔️$x + 51 + 2y = 180$ (sum of triangle)

Plug in the value of y

$x + 51 + 2(36) = 180$

$x + 51 + 72 = 180$

$x + 123 = 180$

Subtract 123 from each side

$x = 57$
