Based on the figure below, what is the value of x?
A. 5
B. 7
C. 11
D. 15

Answer 1

Hello.

Taking a look at our screenshot provided, we can conclude that we need to find the missing angle degree out of 90 degrees, as we are dealing with a right angle.

Let's set this up as an Algebraic formula and solve for the variable;
5x + 15 + 50 = 90

First, let's combine like-terms (15 and 50).

5x + 65 = 90

Now, isolate our variable by subtracting 65 from each side of the equation.

90 - 65 = 25
65 - 65 = 0

5x = 25

Now, divide both sides by 5 to solve for x, our missing angle degree.

x = 5

Your answer is A.) 5

I hope this helps!
