Question

Solve for x then find the measurement of the angle

Answer 1

62°

Explanation:

Question :

• Find the value of x
• Find the angle of DEF

Solution :

5x + 2 = 8x - 34

5x + 2 + 34 = 8x

5x + 36 = 8x

36 = 8x - 5x

36 = 3x

3x = 36

x = 12°

DEF = 5x + 2

DEF = 5(12) + 2

DEF = 60 + 2

DEF = 62°

Conclusion :

• x = 12°
• DEF = 62°
