Question

Can someone help me solve for x on number 18 and explain how you did it thank you ;)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 19°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that < (6x + 1)° + < (3x + 8)° are supplementary angles whose sum = 180°

6x + 1 + 3x + 8 = 180°

Add common terms:

9x + 9 = 180°

Subtract 9 from both sides:

9x + 9 - 9 = 180° - 9

9x = 171°

Divide both sides by 9 to solve for x:

$\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{171}{9}$

x = 19°
