Question

Find the value of x.
x = [?] degress
51 degress and (3x) degress

Answer 1

To solve for \( x \), we need more context regarding how the degrees relate to each other. Because you've given two angles, \( 51^\circ \) and \( 3x^\circ \), it seems you might be looking at whether these angles are related in a certain way (like forming a triangle, being supplementary, complementary, etc.).

Let's assume you're asking if these angles are supplementary, meaning their sum is \( 180^\circ \).

So, we set up the equation:

\[
51 + 3x = 180
\]

Now, subtract \( 51 \) from both sides:

\[
3x = 180 - 51
\]
\[
3x = 129
\]

Next, divide by \( 3 \):

\[
x = \frac{129}{3}
\]
\[
x = 43
\]

Thus, the value of \( x \) is \( 43 \) degrees.

If you meant a different relationship between the angles, please specify!
