Math Problem Statement

Solve for x using the angle relationship in the given diagram.

Solution

To solve for xx, we need to analyze the angles given in the diagram. The two angles, (6x+22)(6x + 22)^\circ and (64x)(64 - x)^\circ, are vertical angles, meaning they are equal because they are formed by the intersection of two straight lines. Therefore, we can set up the equation:

6x+22=64x6x + 22 = 64 - x

Now, let's solve for xx:

  1. Add xx to both sides to get: 7x+22=647x + 22 = 64

  2. Subtract 22 from both sides: 7x=427x = 42

  3. Divide by 7: x=6x = 6

So, the solution is: x=6x = 6
