okay do u know what the angles in a quadlilateral add upto
OpenStudy (chatnoir):
For this question, you need to know that the quadrilateral angles equal 360 degrees. So do 360=3x+3x+x+x

sigh :(
OpenStudy (otherworldly):
Keep trying out numbers so for example if i said x=50 then that means 3x+3x+ x+x = 150 + 150+ 50+ 50 which equals 400 5 cannot equal x because it doe snot add up to 360. Now that you know that x= 50 equals 400 pick x= less than 50 it will help you out in figuring out the answer good luck im sure there is an easier way but this is how i do it.
OpenStudy (heart_offire):
ok i chose 180 as my answer
OpenStudy (heart_offire):
sorry no i chose 45 @otherworldly

oaky you can use this to always figure out how much the angles add upto in some polygon sha[e
Hayhayz (hayhayz):
shape

so for my original question above i got 45 as my answer was that correct
Hayhayz (hayhayz):
k lets see
3x+3x+x+x= how many x is that in total
OpenStudy (heart_offire):
4
Hayhayz (hayhayz):
no
OpenStudy (heart_offire):
and 45 x 4=180

ok 2 x's
Hayhayz (hayhayz):
try again
3x+3x=?
Hayhayz (hayhayz):
remember what 3*X means that means x+x+x
its x added 3 times
OpenStudy (heart_offire):
ummm it equals 9
Hayhayz (hayhayz):

3 apples + 3 apples =?
Hayhayz (hayhayz):
how many apples do we have
OpenStudy (heart_offire):
6
Hayhayz (hayhayz):
righ dont forget the units its important 6 apples
Hayhayz (hayhayz):
that is basically the same question as this
3x+3x is saying we have 3 of x + 3 of x

Hayhayz (hayhayz):
like 3 of apples + 3 of apples
OpenStudy (heart_offire):
so all together we have 6 x's
Hayhayz (hayhayz):
right now back to our first ques
Hayhayz (hayhayz):
3x+3x+x+x=?
OpenStudy (heart_offire):
umm 6

Hayhayz (hayhayz):
3 apples + 3 apples + 1 apples + 1 apples =?
OpenStudy (heart_offire):
8
OpenStudy (heart_offire):
hello?
Hayhayz (hayhayz):
yes

Hayhayz (hayhayz):
so 3x+3x+1x+1x=?
Hayhayz (hayhayz):
so 3x+3x+1x+1x= 8x
we know angles add up to 360
3x+3x+1x+1x=8x=360
8x=360
solve for x
divide both sides by 8
8x/8=360/8
x=360/8
OpenStudy (heart_offire):
ok so x =45
Hayhayz (hayhayz):
yes
OpenStudy (heart_offire):
so i was correct!
