In a parallelogram opposite angles are congruent to each other. This means that angles lying on the same side are equal to 180 degrees (due to a parallelogram equaling to 360 degrees). \(\large\bf{(6x+20)+(4x+10)=180}\) Simplify.

563blackghost:

What would `x` equal?

Comerpickles:

Okie, one second, lemme do the math

Comerpickles:

By combining like terms and simplifying, wouldn't you get 10x+30?

563blackghost:

Correct. Now you need to isolate x.

Comerpickles:

Factor?

@demolisher1224

563blackghost:

Not quite. You have \(\large\bf{10x+30=180}\) right? We would need to isolate x by first subtracting 30 from both sides. \(\large\bf{10x=150}\) now we divide by 10 from each side to isolate x. What is x?

Comerpickles:

1 & 15?

demolisher1224:

foundit

563blackghost:

Well yes for it equaling for 15. It is said as `x equals 15` since this is a variable we do not assume x is equal to 1. (if that is what you mean). So now we know `x = 15` we can now plug this into the expression. \(\large\bf{ m \angle A = 6(15)+20}\)

563blackghost:

Simplify.

Comerpickles:

110?

demolisher1224:

sorry can't help not really good with these questions

563blackghost:

Correct.

Comerpickles:

Ohhhh

563blackghost:

XD

Comerpickles:

Dumb me

563blackghost:

you'll get it ;)

demolisher1224:
