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

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

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

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

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

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

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