Answer:
WORDS: The value of x is 15.
EQUATION: x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
1. AB is a straight line therefore angles AOF, FOG, and GOB total 180º
2. If ∠FOG = 90º, AOF + GOB = 90º by subtraction & substitution property
3. 5x - 15 + 2x = 90 (now solve) --> by substitution
4. 7x - 15 = 90 --> by C.L.T. or Combine Like Terms
5. 7x = 105 --> by C.L.T. or Combine Like Terms
6. x = 15 --> by inverse operations (division)
Hope this helps!
