Find the measure of the remote exterior angle. m∠x=(197−5n)°m∠y=(6n+22)°m∠z=(n+7)°
A. 14
B. 91
C. 21
D. 127
Answer:
D. 127°
Step-by-step explanation:
The exterior angle (x) is the sum of the remote interior angles (y, z).
x = y +z
(197 -5n) = (6n +22) +(n +7) . . . . . substituting the given expressions
Eliminating parentheses and collecting terms, we have ...
197 -5n = 7n +29
168 = 12n . . . . . . . . . add 5n-29
14 = n . . . . . . . . . . divide by 12
Then the measure of remote exterior angle x is ...
m∠x = (197 -5(14))° = (197 -70)°
m∠x = 127°
