Erik and David both got the same answer when they solved the problem below for x. However, the teacher graded their solutions differently. Which
student, if either, was correct? Why?
Erik's Solution
David's Solution
x+72 + 144 = 180
180 - 144 = 36; 180 – 72 = 108
144
x+ 216 = 180
x+36 + 108 = 180
216 - 180 = 36
x+ 144 = 180
72
x = 36°
- 144 = -144
X = 36°
