Question

(can you help me with this please?)

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

`(49x + 3) + 26 = 59x - 1\implies 49x+29=59x-1\implies 29=10x-1 \\\\\\ 30=10x\implies \cfrac{30}{10}=x\implies 3=x`

Answer 2

x=3

Explanation:

The angle CDE is split into angles CDY and YDE so we know if we add the angles YDE and CDY it will equal angle CDE so we can make an equation with the angle values.

26+(49x+3)=59x-1

49x+29=59x-1

-49x. -49x

29= 10x-1

+1. +1

30=10x

/10. /10

3=x
