help please(ss below)
@snowflake0531
the two angles are equal 2x+6= x+9
ughhhh???? wrong problem xd
that was the other one snow lol
The angles shown are corresponding angles
o-o lol
if you didn't know corresponding angles are congruent. That being said you could create an equation to solve for x . Do you know how to create an equation knowing that the two angles are congruent?
._. ya lost me, maybe but i dont remember
ok so the angle that is defined by the expression "2x + 24" and the angle that is defined by the expression "3x - 26" are corresponding angles which are equal to each other. Knowing that they are EQUAL to each other, we want to create an equation so we can solve for x
how would i do that? would i combine like terms?
not exactly. The expressions are EQUAL to each other because the angles are congruent So the equation would be 2x + 24 = 3x - 26 because they are equal to each other
so the expression is 2x + 24 = 3x - 26
so do i have to make both sides equal 180?
No, you would then want to solve for x using basic algebra
Do you remember how to do that?
nope ._.
do i make it so they all = 180?
No, the expressions are equal to each other. So you want to make 2x + 24 equal to 3x - 26
so they both have to = the same number?
Correct!
We can do this by solving for x in the equation created (2x + 24 = 3x - 26)
So you said you don't remember how to solve for x, right?
x=50
Yes! Well done!
thanks xd
