Question

Question 13 (5 points) m_1 = (4x + 9)º and m_2 = (x - 14)° in the given figure. Find x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x=19°

Step-by-step explanation:

Line n and l form a right angle. We know that because line m and l are parallel to each other and line n crosses through them as a vertical line.

Right angles always add up to 90°.

So, Angle 1 add Angle 2 equals 90°.

4x+9+x-14=90°

Collect the like terms:

Like terms are terms with the same variables and powers.

4x+x=5x

9-14= -5

Form an equation:

5x-5=90°

Do inverse operations to isolate x.

90+5=95°

95÷5=19° (We divide by 5 because, in algebra, when a number is next to a letter, it means times, so we have to do the opposite and divide).

So, x=19°

Hope this helps :)
