Question

Given the figure below, find the values of x and z.
20
X
(5x + 39)°
71°

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

• (5x+39)° and 71° are in a straight line therefore their summation will have to give us 180°(supplementary angles)
• 5x+39°+71°=180°
• 5x=180°-39°-71°
• 5x=70

°$\frac{5x}{5} =\frac{70}{5} \\x=14$     z is vertically opposite to 71° therefore z= 71°
