Question

if m<6 = (3x-13)° and m<8 = (2x-5°), what is the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that $m\angle 6 = m \angle 8$

Each angle is defined as

$m\angle 6 = 3x-13$ and $m \angle 8 =2x-5$

Replacing all in the first equation, we have

$3x-13=2x-5\\3x-2x=13-5\\x=8$

Therefore, the value of x is 8.
