Answer :

A straight line (or two rays in a  straight line) = 180o
to find x start with this equation
31 + x + 40 = 180 Now get all the numbers on the right.
(31 + 40) + x = 180
x = 180 - (31 + 40)
Only A or C can be correct. It is C, but you have to be very careful how you eliminate A
C <<<< answer.


x = 180 - 31 - 40 is the correct way to remove the brackets. 
x = 180 -  71
x = 109

There are better ways to do this particular question without using brackets.

Answer:

C. [tex]x=180^o-(31^o+40^o)[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a figure of angles formed on a straight line.

Since we know that the angles on a straight line add up-to 180 degrees. Upon using this property we can set an equation as:

[tex]31^o+x^o+40^o=180^o[/tex]

Let us subtract 40 and 31 degrees from both sides of our equation to solve to x.

[tex]31^o-31^o+x^o+40^o-40^o=180^o-31^o-40^o[/tex]    

[tex]x=180^o-31^o-40^o[/tex]

Upon factoring negative sign from right side of our equation we will get,

[tex]x=180^o-(31^o+40^o)[/tex]

Therefore, the equation [tex]x=180^o-(31^o+40^o)[/tex] can be used to find the value of x and option C is the correct choice.
