Question 1 (1 point) Solve for x. 44° (4x+8) 60 Solve for x°

Answer 1

The value of x is;

`x=17`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle in the attached image;

We want to solve for x;

Recall that the sum of angles in a triangle equals to 180 degree.

`44^(\circ)+60^(\circ)+(4x+8)^(\circ)=180^(\circ)`

solving for x, we have;

`\begin{gathered} 44^(\circ)+60^(\circ)+(4x+8)^(\circ)=180^(\circ) \\ 44^{}+60^{}+4x+8^{}=180 \\ 104+8+4x=180 \\ 112^{}+4x=180 \\ \text{subtract 112 from both sides;} \\ 112-112^{}+4x=180-112 \\ 4x=68 \\ x=(68)/(4) \\ x=17 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value of x is;

`x=17`
