Question

If angles 1 and 2 are a linear pair, and m<1 = 3x + 12 and m<2 = x + 44, find the measures of these two angles

Answer 1

3x + 12 = x + 44
2x = 32
x = 16 degrees.

Answer 2

Then put x back in to both equations and find the measures of both the angles.

Answer 3

linear pair means the sum of the angles is 180.

(3x + 12) + (x + 44) = 180

solve x.

Answer 4

don't forget to sub the value in (3x + 12) and (x + 44) to get the measures of the two angles.

Answer 5

ah, ty for the correction

Answer 6

x=31
