Question

If m∠NQM=2x+8 and m∠PQR=x+22, find the value of x

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

2x+8=x+22

2x - x= 22 - 8

x=14

Answer 2

x = 14

Explanation:

∠ NQM and ∠ PQR are congruent ( indicated by the same orange arc within the 2 angles ) , then

2x + 8 = x + 22 ( subtract x from both sides )

x + 8 = 22 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x = 14
