Question

How do you solve this please give steps

Answer 1

x = 53

Explanation:

Assuming that the river is of constant width throughout.

x + (2x + 21) = 180

x + 2x + 21 = 180

3x + 21 = 180

3x = 159

x = 53

Answer 2

53

Explanation:

they are a linear pair so x + 2x + 21 = 180 so you subtract 21 from both sides, combine x and 2x then divide by 3 to get 53
