Set up and solve an equation:
3(90-x) = (180-x). Then 270 - 3x = 180 - x, or 270 - 180 = 2x.
90 = 2x, so x = 45 deg.
Is this true? 3(90-45) = (180-45)? If so, x = 45 degrees is correct.
2.16 x 10 to the power of -4
Answer:
x = 15
Explanation:
First, add both equations on one side, and set it equal to 180° because it's supplementary:
2x + 8 + 8x + 22 = 180
combine like terms:
10x + 30 = 180
subtract 30 on both sides of the equation and you end up with:
10x = 150
divide both sides by 10 and you get:
x = 15
