Question

22 in the following figure, what is the value of x? 5x - 17° a 13 b 6.2 c 119 d 29.8

Explanation:

Step1: Identify angle - relationship

Assume the two angles are vertical angles (since no other information about parallel lines etc. is given and vertical angles are equal). So, \(5x - 17=48\).

Step2: Solve the equation for \(x\)

Add 17 to both sides of the equation: \(5x=48 + 17\), so \(5x=65\). Then divide both sides by 5: \(x=\frac{65}{5}=13\).

Answer:

A. 13
