Questions and Answers

What relationship between the angles allows you to set up an equation to solve for x?

  • The angles (7x-5)° and 23° sum up to angle 67°. (correct)
  • The angles (7x-5)° and 23° are complementary.
  • The angles (7x-5)° and 67° are supplementary.
  • The angles 23° and 67° are vertical angles.

Given the angles in the diagram, which equation correctly relates these angles to solve for x?

  • $7x - 5 = 23$
  • $7x - 5 + 67 = 23$
  • $7x - 5 = 67 + 23$
  • $7x - 5 + 23 = 67$ (correct)

If the measure of one angle is represented by $(7x - 5)$ and it combines with a $23$° angle to form a $67$° angle, what is the value of x?

  • x = 14
  • x = 1
  • x = 6 (correct)
  • x = 9

Equation to solve for x

The sum of the angles 23° and (7x - 5)° equals 67°.

Solving for x

Combine like terms and isolate x: 7x + 18 = 67 -> 7x = 49 -> x = 7

Study Notes

  • An angle is divided into three smaller angles measuring 23°, 67°, and (7x-5)°.
  • To find the value of x, sum the three angles and set them equal to 180° if they form a straight line, or to the measure of the larger angle they compose
  • 23 + 67 + (7x - 5) = 67 is the equation to solve for x.
  • Combine the constant terms: 23 + 67 - 5 = 85
  • The equation simplifies to 7x + 85 = 67.
  • From this, it can be deduced that none of the given options are correct.
  • Isolate x: 7x = 67 - 85 simplifies to 7x = -18
  • Divide by 7: x = -18 / 7
