Question

Solve for x 15x+5x 14x-6

Answer 1

Look at the picture.

[tex\alpha+\beta=180^o[/tex] - supplementary angles

Therefore we hve the equation:

`(14x-6)+(15+5x)=180\\\\(14x+5x)+(-6+15)=180\\\\19x+9=180\qquad\text{subtract 9 from both sides}\\\\19x=171\qquad\text{divide both sides by 19}\\\\\boxed{x=9}`
