Question

ch. 5.1 - perpendicular and angle bisectors mix - ass
use your equation from the previous question to find the value of x in the figure below.
(5x - 2)°
(4x + 5)°
*** just type the number and nothing else.
x =

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the equation

Since the two angles are equal (angle bisector property), we have \(5x - 2=4x + 5\).

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(4x\) from both sides: \(5x-4x - 2=4x-4x + 5\), which simplifies to \(x-2 = 5\).
Then add 2 to both sides: \(x-2 + 2=5 + 2\).
