Math Problem Statement
Find the value of X
Find the value of x
Solution
To find the value of , we need to use the information provided in the diagram.
- The given angles are and .
- These two angles form a straight line, meaning they are supplementary. The sum of supplementary angles is .
So, the equation will be:
Now, let's solve for .
-
Combine like terms:
-
Subtract 26 from both sides:
-
Divide both sides by 14:
Thus, the value of is .
