Question

supplementary angles with measures and degrees
6x-4 and 8x-12 degrees

Answer 1

If they are supplementary, then they have to be equal to..?

Answer 2

180

Answer 3

Since these two measurements are supplementary, set both of them equal to 180

Answer 4

Therefore,
(6x - 4) + (8x - 12) = 180

Answer 5

so I can just add them together and use algebra to find x?

14x-16=180

14x=164

x = 11.7142857142857

Answer 6

Now, x is equal to 11.71. You have to plug it back into the given measurements as "x" to get their degrees

Answer 7

sorry did it wrong

lol

Answer 8

No no, you're on the right track. Just needed to fulfill some additional steps. Great work! ;)

Answer 9

it's 14x-16=180

14x = 196

x = 14

Answer 10

Ah there we go. My mistake I did not point that out! =P Now, you can plug them into the original measurements to conclude to your final answer ;)
