Question

If m∠1 equals (4x + 2)° and m∠2 equals 110°, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

x = 17

Explanation:

Assuming that the sum of the two angles is equal to 180 degrees, then the equation to solve for angle 1 is

4x + 2 + 110 = 180

4x + 112 = 180

Then solve for x

4x = 68

x = 17

Then to find angle 1 just plug x into the equation for angle 1

4x + 2

4(17) + 2

Angle 1 = 70
