Question

solve for x.

x =
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Identify angle - relationship

Assume \(GH\parallel IJ\), then \((8x - 7)^{\circ}\) and \(67^{\circ}\) are corresponding angles (or alternate - exterior/alternate - interior angles depending on parallel lines), so they are equal.

$$8x-7 = 67$$

Step2: Solve the equation for \(x\)

Add 7 to both sides of the equation:

$$8x-7 + 7=67 + 7$$

$$8x=74$$

Divide both sides by 8:

$$x=\frac{74}{8}=\frac{37}{4}=9.25$$

Answer:

\(9.25\)
