Math Problem Statement

Find the value of x where the angles are 69° and (62x + 1)°, both forming a straight line.

Solution

The problem in the image seems to involve finding the value of xx in an angle-related problem. We have two angles labeled, one as 6969^\circ and the other as 62x+162x + 1^\circ, both making a straight line.

Since both angles form a linear pair (angles on a straight line), their sum must equal 180180^\circ. Let's set up the equation:

69+(62x+1)=18069^\circ + (62x + 1)^\circ = 180^\circ

Now, we can solve this equation:

69+62x+1=18069 + 62x + 1 = 180

Simplifying the constants on the left side:

70+62x=18070 + 62x = 180

Subtracting 70 from both sides:

62x=11062x = 110

Dividing both sides by 62:

x=110621.77x = \frac{110}{62} \approx 1.77

Thus, the value of xx is approximately 1.771.77.

Let me know if you'd like more details or explanations!

Follow-up questions:

  1. Why do angles on a straight line always add up to 180180^\circ?
  2. How would this problem change if there were three angles on the straight line instead
