Question

Find m∠YOZ in the figure if m∠XOZ = 86°.

Question 1 options:

A)
65°

B)
7°

C)
42°

D)
43°

Answer 1

A. 65

Explanation:

First, you would need to find x.

You would combine both equations it would become, 6x+23+3x=86.

Then, combine like terms, 9x+23=86.

And subtract 23 from both sides, 9x = 63.

Lastly, divide both sides by 9.

x = 7

Now with the equation 6x+23, you replace x with 7, 6(7)+23.

Then multiply 42+23, and add 42+23= 65.

Answer 2

One part of the angle is 3x, and the other part is 6x+23, so putting them together gets 9x+23=86. Subtract the 23 and we get 9x=63. We know that 9•7=63, so x=7, and now we can solve the angle. 6x=42, and 42+23=65, so the answer is:

A) 65°
