Question

m 1 = 125 and m 4 = (x + 35)

what equation will solve for x?

Answer 1

I don’t see the diagram, so there are two common possibilities:

- If ∠1 and ∠4 are congruent (equal), the equation is
x + 35 = 125
which gives x = 90.

- If ∠1 and ∠4 are a linear pair (supplementary), the equation is
125 + (x + 35) = 180
which gives x = 20.

If you can describe or upload the diagram, I’ll tell you which equation applies.
