Using the following image , find the value for x

Here, two angles i.e, (x + 13)° and (4x + 2)° are forming a straight line, thus the sum of these two angles will be 180° because they are forming a linear pair.

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] (x + 13) + (4x + 2) = 180°

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] x + 13 + 4x + 2 = 180°

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 5x + 15 = 180°

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 5x = 180° ― 15

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 5x = 165°

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] x = 165° ÷ 5

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] x = 33°

Therefore, the value of x is 33°.

Quick Check!

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] x + 13

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] (33 + 13)°

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 46°

And, another angle :

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] (4x + 2)°

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] {4(33) + 2}°

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] (132 + 2)°

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 134°

★ Sum of the angles should be 180° :

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] (x + 13) + (4x + 2) = 180°

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 46° + 134° = 180°

[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 180° = 180°

L.H.S = R.H.S, hence verified!

The value of x is 33

What is an equation?

"It is a mathematical statement which consists of equal symbol between two algebraic expressions."

What is linear pair of angles?

"It is formed when two lines intersect each other at a single point. "
" The angles are adjacent to each other."
"The sum of angles of a linear pair is always 180° "

What are supplementary angles?

"Two angles are supplementary angles if the sum of the angles is 180° "

For given question,

angle (x + 13) and angle (4x + 2) form linear pair of angles.

So, these angles are supplementary angles.

⇒ (x + 13)° + (4x + 2)° = 180°

We solve above equation to find the value of x

⇒ x + 4x + 13 + 2 = 180

⇒ 5x + 15 = 180

⇒ 5x = 165

⇒ x = 33

Therefore, the value of x is 33
