Question

Using the picture below, find x. BD is perpendicular to AC. -

Answer 1

I just need to know how to GET x. If someone can show me the exact steps, I'll get the answer.

Answer 2

assuming 2x+y and 4x-2 are the angles, we know this

2x+y = 90

4x - 2 = 90

this is because BD is perpendicular to AC, so 90 degree angles form there

Answer 3

Yeah, got that. But how do I solve for X

Answer 4

by solving 4x - 2 = 90

4x - 2 = 90

4x - 2+2 = 90+2

4x + 0 = 92

4x = 92

4x/4 = 92/4

1x = 23

x = 23

Answer 5

Ohhh, I was doing the last part wrong.. Forgot to divide. Thanks!
