The value of x is 5 by using external angle

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle’s angles add up to 180 degrees

so 40 + (16x + 2) + ∠C = 180

The straight angle is 180°

so ∠C = 180 - (23x + 7)  

∠C = 180 - 23x -7

∠C = 173 - 23x

and then 40 + (16x + 2) +(173 - 23x) = 180

40 + 16x + 2 + 173 - 23x = 180

215 - 7x = 180

-7x = 180 - 215

-7x = -35

x = 5
