Math Problem Statement
Find the value of x in the given geometric diagram, where the angles are (3x + 3)° and (4x + 3)°, with the presence of a right angle.
Solution
The image presents a geometric diagram, where we need to find the value of . The setup includes the following:
- Two angles marked as and .
- The presence of a right angle (marked with a red square), which indicates that the two angles adjacent to the right angle must sum to .
Steps to solve:
- The two angles adjacent to the right angle are:
- Since they form a right angle, their sum must be :
- Simplify the equation:
- Subtract 6 from both sides:
- Solve for :
Solution:
The value of is .
