Math Problem Statement
Solution
This image shows a triangle with angles labeled in terms of . We need to find the value of .
To solve this, we use the fact that the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°. The two angles provided in the image are and . The third angle, which is marked as , can be represented as .
So, the equation based on the sum of the angles is:
Let’s solve for :
Simplify the terms:
Add 22 to both sides:
Now divide both sides by 5:
So, .
