Exterior Angle Theorem and Solving Equations

The video tutorial explains how to find the value of x in a triangle problem using the exterior angle theorem. The theorem states that the measure of an exterior angle equals the sum of the remote interior angles. The tutorial provides a step-by-step solution, starting with setting up the equation 3x + 6 = x + 30, simplifying it to 2x + 6 = 30, and solving for x to find that x equals 12.

In the given problem, what is the expression for the exterior angle?

• x + 6

• x + 30

• 3x + 6

• 2x + 6

What is the expression for the sum of the remote interior angles in the problem?

• 2x + 30

• x + 30

• 3x + 6

• x + 6

What is the first step in solving the equation 3x + 6 = x + 30?

• Divide both sides by 2

• Add x to both sides

• Subtract x from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

After subtracting x from both sides, what is the resulting equation?

• 2x = 30

• x + 6 = 30

• 3x + 6 = 30

• 2x + 6 = 30

What is the next step after obtaining the equation 2x + 6 = 30?

• Subtract 6 from both sides

• Add 6 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Divide both sides by 2

What equation do you get after subtracting 6 from both sides?

• x = 12

• x = 24

• 2x = 30

• 2x = 24
