Katrin369 · Answer

Yeah

snowflake0531 · Answer

okay, so, do you know how you woudl write the equation then?

Katrin369 · Answer

I don't know. So sorry I can't think rn.

Katrin369 · Answer

I'm dumb

snowflake0531 · Answer

Okay, so, since you know that a straight line is 180 degrees, you can see that x, plus the other x, added with 76, equals 180
so, how would your equation look like
*just put the words to symbols and numbers

Katrin369 · Answer

Ok so

snowflake0531 · Answer

lol,  you can just write it here lol

Katrin369 · Answer

ok ya sorry lol

snowflake0531 · Answer

it would be x+x+76, which equals 180 degrees

snowflake0531 · Answer

so, your equation would be 2x+76=180
do you know how to find x?

76/2 = 38

snowflake0531 · Answer

ummm, no lol
first, subtract 76 from each side
what would your equation then look like?

Katrin369 · Answer

180?

snowflake0531 · Answer

umm, wdym just by '180'?

Katrin369 · Answer

So, you have to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to get the term with the variable by itself.

Katrin369 · Answer

Right?
