Find the value of x.

1. 51° and 2. (3x)°
x = [?]°
43 and 90 is wrong! TRY AGAIN!

1 answer

To find the value of \( x \) in the context provided, we need more details about how these angles (51° and (3x)°) are related. If these angles are part of a geometric figure or equation (like in a triangle or a linear pair), please provide that context.

However, if we are assuming that these two angles are supplementary (which means they sum to 180°), we can set up the equation:

\[ 51° + (3x)° = 180° \]

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

  1. Subtract 51° from both sides: \[ (3x)° = 180° - 51° \] \[ (3x)° = 129° \]

  2. Divide both sides by 3: \[ x = \frac{129°}{3} \] \[ x = 43° \]

If we assume that these angles are not supplementary or related in another way, please provide additional information corresponding to the problem so I can assist you better.
