mL1 = 125° and mL4 = (x + 35) °

What equation will solve for x?

1 answer

To solve for x, we can use the fact that the sum of angles in a linear pair is 180°.

So, the equation that will solve for x is:

mL1 + mL4 = 180°

Substituting the given values, we have:

125° + (x + 35)° = 180°

Simplifying the equation:

160° + x° = 180°

Subtracting 160° from both sides:

x° = 20°

Hence, the equation that will solve for x is x = 20°.
