Question

What is the value of x in 7x-18

Answer 1

x = 21

Explanation:

Although the picture is a bit blurry towards the bottom, I believe the opposite exterior angle is 129°

Opposite exterior angles are equivalent by the opposite exterior angles postulate. Of course, this only applies if the transversed lines are parallel, which they are in this case, because of the small orange arrows.

Anyhow, the equation should be set up as follows:

`129 = 7x-18\\129 + 18 = 7x - 18 +18\\147 = 7x\\21=x`
