Question 1025302: Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Angle 1 measures (4x + 28)°, and the angle adjacent to the alternate exterior angle with angle 1 measures (14x + 8)°. What is the value of x? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
By your description of the
problem, it would appear
that if the angle adjacent to
the alternate angle with angle 1
measuring(14x + 8) is added to
the alternate angle with angle 1
they will = 180 degrees
(Both on straight line)
(4x + 28) + (14x + 8) = 180
Remove brackets
4x + 28 + 14x + 8 = 180
Collect like terms:
4x + 14x = 180 - 28 - 8
18x = 144
x = 8
Hope this helps :-)
