Question

Write and solve an equation that
represents the value of x.
43°
(x-7)°
without using complentary angles or supplementary angles

Answer 1

To create an equation that represents the value of \( x \) given the angles \( 43^\circ \) and \( (x - 7)^\circ \), we can assume that these two angles are equal. This gives us the equation:

\[
43 = x - 7
\]

Now, we will solve for \( x \):

1. Add 7 to both sides of the equation:
\[
43 + 7 = x
\]

2. Simplify:
\[
50 = x
\]

So, the value of \( x \) is:

\[
\boxed{50}
\]
