Q. In DEF,mD=(x9),mE=(3x6) \triangle \mathrm{DEF}, \mathrm{m} \angle D=(x-9)^{\circ}, \mathrm{m} \angle E=(3 x-6)^{\circ} , and mF=(10x15) \mathrm{m} \angle F=(10 x-15)^{\circ} . Find mE \mathrm{m} \angle E .\newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify Triangle Angles: Identify the relationship between the angles in a triangle. The sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180180 degrees.
  2. Set Up Equation: Set up the equation based on the given angle expressions.\newlinemD+mE+mF=180\frac{m}{\angle D} + \frac{m}{\angle E} + \frac{m}{\angle F} = 180^\circ\newlineSubstitute the given expressions for mD\frac{m}{\angle D}, mE\frac{m}{\angle E}, and mF\frac{m}{\angle F}.\newline(x9)+(3x6)+(10x15)=180(x - 9)^\circ + (3x - 6)^\circ + (10x - 15)^\circ = 180^\circ
  3. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms to simplify the equation.\newlinex9+3x6+10x15=180x - 9 + 3x - 6 + 10x - 15 = 180\newlineCombine the xx terms and the constant terms.\newline14x30=18014x - 30 = 180
  4. Solve for x: Solve for x.\newlineAdd 3030 to both sides of the equation.\newline14x30+30=180+3014x - 30 + 30 = 180 + 30\newline14x=21014x = 210\newlineDivide both sides by 1414.\newlinex=21014x = \frac{210}{14}\newlinex=15x = 15
  5. Substitute x Value: Substitute the value of xx back into the expression for m/Em/\angle E to find its measure.\newlinem/E=(3x6)m/\angle E = (3x - 6)^\circ\newlinem/E=(3(15)6)m/\angle E = (3(15) - 6)^\circ\newlinem/E=(456)m/\angle E = (45 - 6)^\circ\newlinem/E=39m/\angle E = 39^\circ
