5x degrees and 31 degrees 90 degree angle

Question

What is the value of x?

6.2 degrees

59 degrees

11.8 degrees

24.2 degrees

Answer 1

To find the value of x, we can subtract the given angles from 90 degrees:

90 - (5x + 31) = 0

Simplifying the equation, we get:

90 - 5x - 31 = 0

Combining like terms, we have:

59 - 5x = 0

Adding 5x to both sides:

59 = 5x

Dividing both sides by 5, we find:

x = 59/5 = 11.8 degrees

Therefore, the value of x is 11.8 degrees.
