Thanks man

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i sense an inequality here 2x+8 < 34

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

correct

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

x can have a range of possible values

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

both angles are congruent therefore x can only have one value

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its not given that angles are congruent, moreover angles cannot be congruent cuz that makes the triangles congruent by SAS. but since 13 \(\ne\) 16, triangles cannot be congruent.

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
