Question

Find the value of x.

A) 71

B) 72

C) 73

D) 75

Answer 1

The answer is c) 73

Explanation:

The angle 146 and (-39 + x) lie on the same line, so that means their sum is 180 degrees because a straight line has 180 degrees.

180 = 149 - 39 + x

180 = 107 + x

180 - 107 = x

73 = x

Answer 2

73

Explanation:

The two angles form a straight line and a straight line is 180 degrees

-39+x + 146 = 180

Combine like terms

107 +x = 180

Subtract 107 from each side

107+x-107 = 180-107

x =73
