I need help with questions 17 and 18, I don't understand them, if you could give a nice explanation ill give you brainliest.
Answer :
Part 17: The value of x is 5.
Part 18: The value of x is 2°.
Step-by-step explanation :
Part 17:
Given:
Length SR = 2x - 9
Length RQ = x + 6
Length SQ = 12
Now we have to determine the value of x.
Length SQ = Length SR + Length RQ
12 = (2x - 9) + (x + 6)
12 = 2x - 9 + x + 6
12 = 3x - 3
3x = 15
x = 5
The value of x is 5.
Part 18:
Given:
∠MLK = 81x - 2
∠HLK = 54x + 2
∠MLH = 50°
Now we have to determine the value of x.
∠MLK = ∠HLK + ∠MLH
81x - 2 = 54x + 2 + 50°
81x - 2 - 54x - 2 = 50°
27x - 4 = 50°
27x = 54°
x = 2°
The value of x is 2°
