Question

Write and solve an equation to determine the value of x.
​

Answer 1

x = 12

Explanation:

<CED = 180 - (9x-8)

= 180 - 9x +8

= 188 - 9x

Angle sum of triangle is 180

.'. (5x-10) + (50) + (180 - 9x +8) = 180

5x -10 + 50 + 188 -9x = 180

-4x = 180 + 10 - 50 - 188

-4x = -48

4x = 48

x = 12
