the problem would be set up as 6+(7*x)=41
first u take off the number 6 by subtracting it from itself to cancel it out then u do the same to the number 41
7x =41 now u need to cancel out the number 7 attatched to the x so u divikde it by itself and then do the same to the other side so 41 divided by 7 =5.9
so x =5.9
As with any triangle, the sum of angles is 180°.
(a)
(x -5) +(3x +30) +35 = 180 . . . . . sum of angles is 180
4x +60 = 180 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
4x = 120 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 60
x = 30 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
(b)
Angle A = x -5 = 30 -5 = 25
Angle B = 3x +30 = 3*30 +30 = 120
All i know is that the equation of a straight line is y=mx+c .......where m= gradient and c= the y intercept
