Solving Transversal Equations for X

What is the purpose of color coding angles in a transversal?

• To differentiate between acute and obtuse angles

• To indicate which angles are supplementary

• To make the diagram more visually appealing

• To identify congruent angles easily

If one angle in a transversal is 40 degrees, what is the measure of its vertical angle?

• 90 degrees

• 40 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 140 degrees

How can you solve for x if 5x equals 140?

• Add 5 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 5

• Subtract 140 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 5

What is the result of solving the equation 40 + 5x = 180 for x?

• x = 140

• x = 35

• x = 18

• x = 28

When solving for y using the equation 3y - 1 + 40 = 180, what is the first step?

• Multiply both sides by 3

• Subtract 40 from both sides

• Add 1 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 3

What is the value of y when solving the equation 3y = 141?

• y = 3

• y = 142

• y = 47

• y = 141

How do you find the value of x when given the equation 6x + 7 = 115?

• Add 7 to both sides

• Subtract 7 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 6

• Divide both sides by 6

What is the value of x when solving the equation x - 10 = 7x?

• x = 2

• x = -10

• x = 10

• x = 7

After solving for x, how do you use it to find the value of y in the equation 6y + 20 = 110?

• Add 20 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 6

• Multiply both sides by 6

• Subtract 20 from both sides

What is the final value of y when solving the equation 6y = 90?

• y = 90

• y = 75

• y = 15

• y = 6
