To find the value of x, we first need to recognize that the two parts of the right angle should add up to 90 degrees.
So, we have:
20 + 5x + 15 = 90
5x + 35 = 90
5x = 55
x = 55 / 5
x = 11
Therefore, the value of x is 11.
Based on the figure below, what is the value of x?
A right angle is shown divided in two parts. The measure of the angle of one part is 20 degrees and the measure of the other part is 5x plus 15 degrees. 1
