Question

Find m A.)38
B.)22
C.)52
D.)12

Answer 1

C.) 52°

Explanation:

find x first

4x + 4 + 5x - 22 = 90

9x - 18 = 90

9x = 108

x = 12

plug it into the expression

4(12) + 4

= 48 + 4

= 52°

Answer 2

x =12

Explanation:

The two angles add to 90 degrees

4x+4 + 5x-22 = 90

Combine like terms

9x - 18 = 90

Add 18 to each side

9x -18+18 = 90+18

9x = 108

Divide each side by 9

9x/9 = 108/9

x =12
