Question

It says solve for the variable can you explain

Answer 1

x = 9

Explanation:

Since we know that the triangle is a right triangle we also know that the angle would be 90 degrees

However we are only given 56 and 3x+7

Let 3x+7 be u

We know that 56+u=90 so solve for u

u=90-56

u = 34

Now u = 3x + 7 so,

3x + 7 = 34

solve for x,

3x=34-7

3x=27

x=27/3

x=9.
