Question

Find x in the given figure. answers: 18 144 24 9

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 24°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 'x', the Alternate Exterior angle postulate will need to be used.

'4x + 9' and '2x + 27' are alternate exterior angles. Therefore, they must sum up to 180.

180 = 4x + 9 + 2x + 27

Combine like terms:

180 = 6x + 36

144 = 6x

x = 24°

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=24$

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a straight line add up to 180°

$4x+9+2x+27=180$

$x=24$
