x + (3x+13) +(x-8) =180
5x +5 = 180
x = 175 /5 = 35
Angle A = 3(35)+13 = 118 degrees
They are using two different functions.
Tell your math teacher that questions like these are loaded and should not be given as assignments.
X/2 = 8
▶ ️2 = 8 × X. (transposing X to RHS )
▶️ 2 = 8X
▶ ️X = 8/2. (transposing 2 to RHS )
▶️ X = 4
hence the value of X is 4.
The height could be 2 and the width 10 or the height could be 10 and the width could be 2.
