Having trouble with this problem,

How I start solving (2x+26)°?

It's part of a parallel line problem, and I'm having a major brain fart.

Any help is appreciated :)

If it's y = 2x + 26 it is in point slope form. Go to y = 26 then go to the right one space and up two  repeat that until you have two points then draw you're line.

3x+33 = 2x + 26
x + 33 = 26
x = -7

anonymous · Answer

Then plugin x and find the two angles

whoops I copied down the problem wrong

anonymous · Answer

Thank you soo much! So the answer would be-

3-7+33
-4+33
29...
Do I subtract that from 180°?

anonymous · Answer

3x-33 = 2x + 26
x - 33 = 26
x = 59

anonymous · Answer

Both of the angles are 144 degrees.

anonymous · Answer

To find the angle adjacent subtract 144 from 180

Makes more sense! 

Okay, thank you :)
