Question

If triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEC angle b = x + 15 and angle e = 6x - 65

Answer 1

x = 16Step-by-step explanation:Since the triangles are congruent, then corresponding angles are congruent.∠ B and ∠ E are corresponding angles and congruent, thus6x - 65 = x + 15 ( subtract x from both sides )5x - 65 = 15 ( add 65 to both sides )5x = 80 ( divide both sides by 5 )x = 16

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 16

Explanation:

Since the triangles are congruent, then corresponding angles are congruent.

∠ B and ∠ E are corresponding angles and congruent, thus

6x - 65 = x + 15 ( subtract x from both sides )

5x - 65 = 15 ( add 65 to both sides )

5x = 80 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 16
