Exercise 18 Page 273

The angles ∠ BXC, ∠ CXD, and ∠ DXE are supplementary.

x=6

Practice makes perfect

Let's add the given measurements to the diagram.

The angles ∠ BXC, ∠ CXD, and ∠ DXE are supplementary. This tells us that the sum of their measures is 180^(∘). Thus, we can add the given measures and set the sum equal to 180^(∘). 90+( 6x-13)+( 10x+7)=180 We can solve this equation for x.
90+( 6x-13)+( 10x+7)=180
90+6x-13+10x+7=180
84+16x=180
16x=96
x=6
