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

linear pair means their sum =180 degrees wch mns
5x+7+2x+54=180 solve for x and tell me the value of x @kayboo2013

Answer 2

A.17 :) thank you

Answer 3

no no itz nt 17

Answer 4

x=17 bt the ans is nt 17

Answer 5

nw u hav to find the smaller angle

Answer 6

wch will be b the smaller angle?

Answer 7

how do i figure out which is the smaller angle? do i insert the value of x into the equations and then i will know?

Answer 8

88 is the smaller angle.

Answer 9

right?
