Math Problem Statement

The diagram shows intersecting lines with given angles: 107°, 55°, and an expression (4 - 2x)°. Find the value of x using the angle relationships in the diagram.

Solution

In the image provided, there is a diagram with intersecting lines and marked angles, including the expressions and values for the angles. Here's the information extracted from the diagram:

  • One angle is labeled as 107107^\circ.
  • Another angle is labeled as 5555^\circ.
  • A third angle is expressed as (42x)(4 - 2x)^\circ.

Approach:

We can use the properties of intersecting lines (particularly, vertically opposite angles) and the fact that the sum of angles on a straight line is 180180^\circ.

Step 1: Identify vertical angles

  • The angle opposite 107107^\circ is also 107107^\circ.
  • The angle opposite 5555^\circ is also 5555^\circ.

Step 2: Apply angle sum on a straight line

On the straight line containing the 107107^\circ angle and (42x)(4 - 2x)^\circ, their sum should equal 180180^\circ.

Thus, we can set up the equation: 107+(42x)=180107 + (4 - 2x) = 180

Now, let's solve for xx.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.

However, you can solve this equation manually:

107+(42x)=180107 + (4 - 2x) = 180

Subtract 107 from both sides:

42x=1801074 - 2x = 180 - 107 42x=734 - 2x = 73

Now subtract 4 from both sides:

2x=734-2x = 73 - 4 2x=69-2x = 69

Finally, divide by -2:

x=692=34.5x = \frac{69}{-2} = -34.5
