Solve for x.
A line perpendicular to a horizontal line forming two right angles, one is to its left and other is to its right. The right angle on the right side is further divided into two acute angles, one angle is 32 degrees and the other angle is (2x minus 12) degrees.
A.
x = 35
B.
x = 51
C.
x = 80
D.
x = 96
whats the correct answer
To solve for x, we need to find the value that makes the sum of the two acute angles on the right side add up to 90 degrees (since they are part of a right angle).
So, we have:
32 + (2x - 12) = 90
2x + 20 = 90
2x = 70
x = 35
Therefore, the correct answer is A. x = 35.
