When two lines cross like this, sum of measures of opposite angles is 180.
this means that:
measure angle AEC + measure angle BED = 180
4x-40 + x+50 = 180
5x +10 = 180
5x = 170
x = 34
therefore:
measure angle AEC = 4x-40 = 4(34)-40 = 96
measure angle BED = x+50 = 34+50 = 84
1.96875
that is the correct answer
Answer: The answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
If you read all the answers only D is true
You have to distribute!
6(x) = 6x and 6(-6)=-36
So now you have 6x-36=-3(-x+3)
Now do the same on the other side.
-3(-x)=3x -3(3)=-9
So now, 6x-36=3x-9
Combine the like terms:
Subtract 3x in both sides.
6x-3x=3x
Now: 3x-36=-9
Add 36 in both sides.
3x=27
Divide by 3 on both sides to get x alone.
3x/3= x 27/3=9
X=9
