Question

In the figure below, angle y and angle x form vertical angles. Angle y forms a straight line with the 60° angle and the 70° angle.

A straight line is shown and is marked with three angles. The first angle measures 60 degrees. The second angle measures 60 degrees. The third angle is labeled y. The line between the 70 degree angle and angle y extends below the straight line. The angle formed is labeled angle x.

Write and solve an equation to determine the measure of angle x.
please help <3

Answer 1

Can you attach the figure?

Answer 2

sadly no i dont think i can

Answer 3

might be able to draw it tho

Answer 4

there :)))

Answer 5

That helps bring a lot more clarity to the question, thanks

Do you know that all the angles on a straight line add up to 180?

Answer 6

i do now

Answer 7

Also, vertical angles are equal to each other so angle x = angle y

Answer 8

alright

Answer 9

So the sum of all the angles on a straight line is 180

Answer 10

so you got anything..?

Answer 11

yes i know ik

Answer 12

If you look at your drawing, do you see how

60, 70, and 'x' are in a straight line

that means they all add up to 180 degrees

can you write that as an equation?

Answer 13

not that i know of- like how to if you could

Answer 14

...

how would you write it mathematically?

if I say five plus five is ten

then I would write that out as

5 + 5 = 10

now you know that the SUM of 60, 70 and x is 180

SUM just means addition

so 60 plus 70 plus 'x' is going to equal to 180

how do you write that?

Answer 15

60+70+x (x=180) ?

Answer 16

x does not equal 180
the sum of all 3 angles equal 180

Answer 17

ohhhh alr
so 60+70+x=180

Answer 18

there you go

Answer 19

and so to find out what x is you and 60 and 70 and then subtract from 180

Answer 20

exactly, you add those two values and then subtract it from 180

Answer 21

mk!! thank you

Answer 22

you're welcome
