Angle Bisectors and Solving for an Angle
At about the 1:23 mark (and he continues the mistake further in the problem), the teacher writes 3x+8 on the board instead of 3x+9. The teacher does the rest of the work correctly, but because of this error, he gets the wrong answer. He should get x=23 and measure of angle LKM=156.
Using angle bisectors and supplementary angles to solve for x
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.

Staff Review
This lesson shows how to solve for an angle measure when you are given the angle measure with a variable in it, and you know that you have an angle bisector.
