[tex]\bold {PROBLEM:}[/tex]
Isosceles trapezoid POST with OS || PT. If m∠O=(10x+20)° and m∠P=(8x-2)°, what is x?
[tex]\bold {SOLUTION:}[/tex]
Given that OS || PT, ∠O and ∠P are same-side consecutive angles so they are supplementary, thus,
[tex] \large \tt m \angle O + m \angle P = 180° \\ \\ \large \tt (10x + 20) + (8x - 2) = 180 \\ \\ \large \tt 18x + 18 = 180 \\ \\ \large \tt 18x = 180 - 18 \\ \\ \large \tt 18x = 162 \\ \\ \large \tt \frac{18x}{18} = \frac{162}{18} \\ \\ \large \red{ \boxed{ \tt x = 9}} [/tex]
