I need help with number 35.

m<YXW = 36 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there, Daniel!

To answer this question, the biggest thing you need to know is the definition of the word 'bisect'. To bisect means to cut into equal parts, which means that m<YXV and m<VXW are the same. This is because the problem states that XV bisects <YXW, which means it cuts it in half.

Since the two angles are the same, their equations must equal the same thing. This makes:

3x = 2x + 6

And then from there you subtract 2x from both sides to get x = 6.

But we're not done yet! This is just the X value, and notice how the angles themselves are '3x' and '2x + 6', not just x. All we have to do is multiply x by 6 (you can also plug it into the 2x + 6 equation just to check that it's correct), which gives us 18.

Now, what does the problem ask? It asks us to find m<YXW. For that, we must multiply what we got for m<YXV (18 degrees) by two, since both angles are the same. After doing that, we get 36 degrees, which is our final answer.

Hope this helped!
