Question

I need help understanding this please medal will be rewarded

Answer 1

In the figure below, find the measure of angle WXT if lines QU and RT are parallel and they are cut by transversal VS

Answer 2

i will fan u to

Answer 3

not askikng for a answers just a explanation to the answer

Answer 4

would you say that angle WXT and angle QWX are equal?

Answer 5

yes they do look the same

Answer 6

well, they're also alternate-interior angles, and since QU and RT are parallel, their alternate-interior angles will be equal to each other, so yes

notice how wide is QWX, is 3x-7
notice how wide is WXT, is 2x+1

so we know that QWX = WXT, because they're alternate-interior angles to two parallel lines
so that means that their measure are equal, thus
3x - 7 = 2x + 1

if you find "x", you'd find what the angle WXT is

Answer 7

How would i find x? they do give me thease 17,18,19,20

Answer 8

well.... you're supposed to know how to simplify a linear equation
just solve for "x", or so-called, isolate "x"

Answer 9

how do u do that?

Answer 10

subtract 2x to both sides
then add 7 to both sides, see what you get for "x"

Answer 11

i dont understand
