2x + 24 + y+ z + w = 360

solve for x y z w

Answer 1

you can solve it using matrix method.

Answer 3

to solve for x, move all other numbers and variables to the other side.
so subtract 24 y z and w from 360 to get
2x=336-y-z-w
then to finish solving for x, divide by 2.
you can use a similar method to find the individual values of y, w and z

Answer 4

its for the interior angles of a trapezoid i need to label the measures

Answer 5

oh, then that is quite different. can you supply a picture?

Answer 6

no but 2x + 24 is the top right angle bottom right is just x and the whole left side is blank i know that togethor the angles equal 360

Answer 7

well the base angles of an isoceles trap are congruent, so you can start there. also, opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary, so that should also help you get started :)

Answer 8

sorry, okay here we go:
2x+24+x=180 because they are consecutive interior angles (recall that the top and bottom of trapezoids are parallel).
solve this, what do you get for x?

Answer 9

no, you should first combine like terms and you should have 3x=180-24.
can you solve it now?

Answer 10

52

Answer 11

*x=52

Answer 12

correct. so x is 52, mening the bottom right angle is 52 and the top right angle is 52+24

Answer 13

*correction, the top right angle is 52*2+24

Answer 14

what is the bottom right then

Answer 15

te bottom right is 52, because x=52

Answer 16

the top right is 128

Answer 17

correct

Answer 18

how do i do the left side it has to equal 180 right

Answer 19

or does it not matter because it is not labeled

Answer 20

thank you

Answer 21

no problem :) hope this helped... geometry can be hard, but if you get down those theorems you will be amazed how much everything makes sense :)
