Q. In IJK,mI=(x+6),mJ=(2x+16) \triangle \mathrm{IJK}, \mathrm{m} \angle I=(x+6)^{\circ}, \mathrm{m} \angle J=(2 x+16)^{\circ} , and mK=(6x+14) \mathrm{m} \angle K=(6 x+14)^{\circ} . What is the value of x x ?\newlineAnswer:
  1. Set up equation: In a triangle, the sum of the angles is always 180180 degrees. We can set up an equation with the given angle measures to find xx.
    m/I+m/J+m/K=180m/_{I} + m/_{J} + m/_{K} = 180^{\circ}
    (x+6)+(2x+16)+(6x+14)=180(x+6)^{\circ} + (2x+16)^{\circ} + (6x+14)^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}
  2. Combine like terms: Combine like terms to simplify the equation.\newlinex+6+2x+16+6x+14=180x + 6 + 2x + 16 + 6x + 14 = 180\newline9x+36=1809x + 36 = 180
  3. Isolate terms with x: Subtract 3636 from both sides to isolate the terms with xx.\newline9x+3636=180369x + 36 - 36 = 180 - 36\newline9x=1449x = 144
  4. Solve for x: Divide both sides by 99 to solve for x.\newline9x9=1449\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{144}{9}\newlinex=16x = 16
