Question

Based on the figure below, what is the value of x? (5 points)

A right angle is shown divided in two parts. The measure of the angle of one part is 50 degrees and the measure of the other part is 5x plus 15 degrees.
a 5
b 7
c 11
d 15

Answer 1

A because you need to simplify subtract and then you get your answer

Answer 2

Answer: a. 5

Since the angle is right, we know it is equal to 90 degrees.

Using the information provided, we can set up an equation.

50 + 5x + 15 = 90

Simplifying the equation, we get:

5x + 65 = 90

Subtracting 65 from both sides, we get:

5x = 25

Dividing both sides by 5, we get:

x = 5
