i need help!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

complete the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put them equal to each other and work out x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6x+45=3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kinda...what do you do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rearrange to get what x is

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

@Rezz5 they aren't equal. They're Z angles, so the two angles add up to 180 degrees. 3x + (6x+45) = 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6x-3x+45=3x-3x ==> 3x+45=0 3x=-45 x=...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually agent0smith is correct,

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

@lolly the angles aren't equal. They add up to 180 degrees. 3x + 6x+45 = 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by using the law that @agent0smith wrote

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soo..add the like terms...9x+45=180...take 45 away from each side... 9x=135..divide by 9.. 15...x=15..?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you guys sooooo much!!:)

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

no prob :)
