The sum of the measure of angle M and angle L is 116.

The measure of angle M is 50

The measure of angle L is (7x - 4).

What is the value of x?

1 answer

To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation:

M + L = 116

Given that M = 50 and L = 7x - 4, we can substitute these values into the equation:

50 + 7x - 4 = 116

Combining like terms, we get:

7x + 46 = 116

Next, we subtract 46 from both sides of the equation:

7x = 70

Finally, we divide both sides by 7 to solve for x:

x = 10

Therefore, the value of x is 10.
