Question

an angle has a measure of (5x+7) and another angle has a
measure of (2x+54).
together they form a linear pair. find the measure of the
smaller angle.
A.17
B.88
C.92
D.119

Answer 1

if angles a and b form linear pair then
a + b = 180
so
(5x + 7) +(2x + 54) = 180

so solve and tell what value of x you get ?

Answer 2

okay thank you :)

Answer 3

final answer will not be x
but the smaller of (5x +7) and (2x + 54)

Answer 4

i have gotten 17 degrees as my answer thank you so much :)

Answer 5

Welcome!!
