Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x + 29) + (12x + 55) = 180

16x +84 = 180

16x = 96

x = 6

∠4x + 29° and angle ∠12x + 55° are interior angles on the same side of transversal . Which means their sum will be equal to 180° .

We can write this in an equation and solve it as :-

[tex]\mapsto4x + 29 + 12x + 55 = 180[/tex]

[tex]\mapsto \:16x + 29 + 55 = 180[/tex]

[tex]\mapsto16x + 84 = 180[/tex]

[tex]\mapsto16x = 180 - 84[/tex]

[tex]\mapsto16x = 96[/tex]

[tex]\mapsto \: x = \frac{96}{16} [/tex]

[tex]\mapsto\color{darkorange} \: x = 6[/tex]

Let us check whether or not we have found out the correct value of x , by placing 6 in the place of x .

So :-

∠4x + 29° :-

[tex] = 4 \times 6 + 29[/tex]

[tex] = 24 + 29[/tex]

[tex] \color{red}= 53°[/tex]

∠12x + 55° :-

[tex] = 12 \times 6 + 55[/tex]

[tex] = 72 + 55[/tex]

[tex]\color{teal} = 127°[/tex]

As , 53° + 127° = 180° , we can conclude that we have found out the correct value of x .

Therefore , the value of :-

[tex]\color{green}x = 6[/tex]
