PLEASE HELP! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

x=40

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 angles are on a straight line, which means they are supplementary. When added together, they must equal 180 degrees.

x+x+100=180

Combine like terms by adding the 2 x's together

2x+100=180

To solve the equation, we want to find out what x is. In order to do this, we have to get x by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Keep in mind, everything done to one side, has to be done to the other.

First, subtract 100 from both sides, because 100 is being added to 2x. Subtraction is the opposite of addition.

2x+100-100=180-100

2x=180-100

2x=80

Next, divide both sides by 2. x is being multiplied by 2, and division is the opposite of multiplication.

2x/2=80/2

x=80/2

x=40

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
