Answer:

The value of x = 20.05

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°.

From the diagram, we can say that the sum of the angles A, B, and C must be 180°.

so the equation of the sum of the angles of a triangle will be:

[tex]A+B+C=180^{\circ }[/tex]

As

[tex]A=43\frac{1}{4}^{\circ }[/tex]

[tex]B=5x^{\circ }[/tex]

[tex]C^{\circ }=36.5^{\circ }[/tex]

Substituting the values in the equation of the sum of the angles of a triangle to find the value of x.

[tex]A+B+C=180^{\circ }[/tex]

[tex]43\frac{1}{4}+5x+36.5=180[/tex]

[tex]\frac{173}{4}+5x+36.5=180[/tex]             ∵ [tex]43\frac{1}{4}=\frac{173}{4}[/tex]

Subtract [tex]\frac{173}{4}+36.5[/tex] from both sides

[tex]\frac{173}{4}+5x+36.5-\left(\frac{173}{4}+36.5\right)=180-\left(\frac{173}{4}+36.5\right)[/tex]

[tex]5x=100.25[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{100.25}{5}[/tex]

[tex]x=20.05[/tex]

Therefore, the value of x = 20.05

VERIFICATION:

[tex]A+B+C=180^{\circ }[/tex]

[tex]43\frac{1}{4}+5x+36.5=180[/tex]

[tex]43\frac{1}{4}+5\left(20.05\right)+36.5=180[/tex]

[tex]180=180[/tex]
