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

if two st lines intersect each other
then he sum of the adjacent angles sum up to 180 and the vertically opposite angle so formed are equal

Answer 2

linear pair means the sum of the angles is 180.

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

solve x.

I have trouble finishing it there!

Answer 3

(3x + 12) + (x + 44) = 180
so 3x+x =180 -12 -44
4x=124
x=124/4
x=31
