Alright so those two angles are equal..there is some kind of geometry rule for this..but the exact name escapes me. So get 7x-8=6x+11

OpenStudy (icalibear):

I got -19

OpenStudy (icalibear):

Is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got positive 19 not negative

OpenStudy (icalibear):

How is it positive? I probably just did something wrong but what makes it positive?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7x-8=6x+11 It is just basic algebra Add 8 to both sides, subtract 6x from both

OpenStudy (icalibear):

Yeah just at the end step I got -1x = 19 so that turns into positive 19 not negative stupid mistake haha thanks for helping :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem =D, hate when that happens

OpenStudy (icalibear):

yeah lol
