Question

Please solve for X and find the measure of B

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B are both equal (corresponding parts)

A = B

5x - 5 = 3x + 13               Add 5 to both sides

5x = 3x + 13 + 5              Combine

5x = 3x + 18                    Subtract 3x from both sides

5x - 3x = 18                     Combine

2x = 18                            Divide by 2

2x/2 = 18/2

x = 9            

Angle B

B = 3x + 13                      Let x = 9

B = 3*9 + 13

B = 27 + 13

Angle B = 40
