Question

Angle DEF and angle FEG are supplementary. The measure of angle DEF = (9x +1) and the measure of angle FEG = (8x + 9). What is the measure of angle FEG?

Answer 1

angle DEF + angle EFG = 180
SOLVE FOR X

Answer 2

i got 8 for x

Answer 3

WRONG!

Answer 4

this is frustrating i have the problem set up as 9x+1=8x+9 subtracted 8x from both sides

Answer 5

9x+1+8x+9=180

Answer 6

find x

Answer 7

can you do it?

Answer 8

im trying but would i start from the right when subtracting?

Answer 9

you should have 17x in the left and 170 to the right

Answer 10

so you would get 1

Answer 11

x=170/17 = 10

Answer 12

my answers that are on my hw are 91,89,9,1 degrees

Answer 13

now you have x=10
angle FEG= 8x+9

Answer 14

i got 89 as my answer.

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

i get that now, but i need more he;[ on a few more problems you wouldn't mind helping

Answer 17

OKEY

Answer 18

my next question is If the measure of angle T is (123-5x)º, what is the measure of its complement?

Answer 19

angle T + its complement = 90

Answer 20

so 123-5x plus 90 minus x

Answer 21

= 90 - (123-5x)
can you simplify that?

Answer 22

no not actually i though it was suppose to be 90-x

Answer 23

90-123+5x =(-33+5x) degree

Answer 24

i got that

Answer 25

good

Answer 27

Suppose JK bisects angle LJM. The measure of angle LJK = (-10x + 3) and the measure of KJM = (-x + 21)º. Find the measure of angle LJM.
