Question

13.) The measures of two supplementary angles are 3x + 28 and 4x – 2. What are the measures of the two angles? ..............MEDALS.............

Answer 1

Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is 180 degrees.

Now, you write an equation.

Answer 2

3*90+28 AND 4*90-2 ?

Answer 3

what is the equation needed to solve this problem?

Answer 4

Read my first post as to what supplementary angles/

Answer 5

idk thants y i put it on hear lol i have no clue

Answer 6

do you know what the word SUM means?

Answer 7

yea

Answer 8

what does it mean?

Answer 9

like what somthing equals

Answer 10

No.
Sum means to add

so if you have two angles, and their sum is 180 degrees, then you take the two angles and ADD them together and set them equal to 180 degrees.

Let's see you do that.

Answer 11

but how do i add the angles if idk them

Answer 12

Look at your problem. One angle is 3x + 28 and the other angle is 4x - 2.

Answer 13

So whats your equation needed to solve this problem?

Answer 14

add?

Answer 15

Yes. We just said, that SUM means to ADD.

Answer 16

So whats your equation?

Answer 17

3x+28+4x-2

Answer 18

yes, but whats your equation?

Answer 19

idk addition?

Answer 20

Do you know what an equation is?

Answer 21

nope

Answer 22

You never solved an equation in your math class?

Answer 23

probobly have but im just now starting to care so i probobly missed that

Answer 24

Ok. x + 5 = 8 is an equation

Answer 25

You have the = sign

Answer 26

So what would be your equation to solve your problem?

Answer 27

so i solve for x now ?

Answer 28

I want to see your equation.

You cant solve for x without an equation.

Answer 29

what is your equation?

Answer 30

by adding ?

Answer 31

Yes, we said that SUM means to add.

Answer 32

so the answer is -3?

Answer 33

Would you please write the equation needed to solve your problem?

Answer 34

x+5=8

Answer 35

Now, write the equation needed to solve the original problem you posted about the supplementary angles.

Answer 36

Can you write it?

Answer 37

no

Answer 38

The 2 angles are called 3x+28 and 4x - 2.

Their SUM is 180 degrees.

So the equation you would need is:

3x + 28 + 4x - 2 = 180

Does that make sense?

Answer 39

yes

Answer 40

Are you sure it makes sense?

Answer 41

?

Answer 42

well?
