What's your weird answer?

anonymous · Answer

I've tried 5x-25=4x and I got x=25 but it wouldn't make sense because the question after the one above is.
If x equals 25 then angle one would equal 100 degrees

What is the measure of angle 1? 

    45o
    60o
    120o
    125o

Can't open your file, btw, didn't you have a link for that earlier?

anonymous · Answer

And I've also tried (x+30)+(5x-25)=180 and I kept coming up with a decimal

anonymous · Answer

I can post it again, one second

OK, a hint
don't let that (5x + 25) distract you, it is of no significance here :)

terenzreignz · Answer

(5x - 25) rather

Those two lines with the red arrowheads are parallel, yes?

anonymous · Answer

Sooo x=30?

anonymous · Answer

and yes they are parallel

terenzreignz · Answer

Then, the angle measuring 4x degrees and the angle measuring x + 30 degrees are...?

terenzreignz · Answer

Oh, you already got it, x = 30.

anonymous · Answer

yeah hahaha thank you so much!!

terenzreignz · Answer

No problem :)

terenzreignz · Answer

That other line is probably for another question, or fiendishly placed to distract you :)
