2x + 3 + x - 6 = 180. Can you combine the like terms to simplify the equation?

Answer 1

Yes, we can combine the like terms in the equation.

The like terms in the equation are 2x and x.

Combining them, we get:

2x + x + 3 - 6 = 180

Simplifying further, we have:

3x - 3 = 180

Answer 2

what is x?

Answer 3

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

3x - 3 = 180

Adding 3 to both sides of the equation:

3x = 183

Dividing both sides by 3:

x = 183/3 = 61

Therefore, x = 61.

Answer 4

Now, use the value of x from Part B to fill into the angle (2x + 3) and what do you get? What about when you fill x into the other angle (x - 6)?

Answer 5

To fill in the value of x into the angle (2x + 3), we substitute x = 61:

Angle (2x + 3) = 2(61) + 3 = 122 + 3 = 125 degrees.

To fill in the value of x into the other angle (x - 6), we again substitute x = 61:

Angle (x - 6) = 61 - 6 = 55 degrees.
