Question

2. Solve for x. SHOW YOUR WORK.

Answer 1

x=9

Explanation:

The two labelled angles are equal, so we can construct an equation. Then, we solve the equation for x.

`4x+2=7x-25\\2=3x-25\\3x=27\\x=9`

First, we subtract 4x from both sides. Next, we add 25 to both sides. Finally, we divide both sides by 3.
