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 in an angle-related problem. We have two angles labeled, one as and the other as , both making a straight line.
Since both angles form a linear pair (angles on a straight line), their sum must equal . Let's set up the equation:
Now, we can solve this equation:
Simplifying the constants on the left side:
Subtracting 70 from both sides:
Dividing both sides by 62:
Thus, the value of is approximately .
