Question

What is the value of x?
A. 60°
B. 155
C. 25°
D. 35°

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The bottom right angle and 95° add up to 180°. Solve for that angle.

95 + y = 180

y = 85

2. Triangles have a total of 180°. Set up the equation.

60 + 85 + x = 180°

3. Simplify

145 + x = 180

4. Solve for x by subtracting 145 from both sides

x = 35°

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

60+x = 95

Subtract 60 from each side

60 +x-60 = 95-60

x = 35
