Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Question
Solve for x
![**Solve for \( x \) and write your answer in the spot provided.**
Below this text, there is a right triangle diagram to aid in solving for \( x \). The triangle includes one right angle, marked by a small red square in the corner, and three angles internally marked:
- One angle as \( x + 26^\circ \)
- The right angle as \( 90^\circ \) (not labeled but inferred from the square)
- The other angle as \( 3x^\circ \)
The problem asks to solve for \( x \) in degrees.
**Triangle Diagram Explanation:**
- It is a right triangle, indicated by the 90-degree angle (red square).
- One of the angles is labeled \( x + 26^\circ \).
- Another angle is labeled \( 3x^\circ \).
- The problem requires finding the value of \( x \), where \( x \) is in degrees.
Below the triangle, a text field is provided to write the solution:
\[ x = \_\_\_\_\_ \text{ degrees} \]](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F53c53f77-d002-4b56-abfd-25b68daf1b27%2F61fb76de-df6a-4de8-a0a7-7fb1e58c1694%2Felchu2p_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
