OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

okay, you need to solve for a by doing 2a+6+7a+3=180

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

Do you know why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, im really comfused on this one:(

@BloomLocke367

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you there?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

I'm here, sorry, I'm doing multiple things at once. well, those 2 angles make a line, and a line is 180 degrees.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

you need to solve for a, so you can find the one angle measurement.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok...

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

do you know how to find a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no thats the only thing i dont know

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

2a+6+7a+3=180.. you can start by combining like terms. so, you'd have 9a+9=180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=171

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no 19

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right @BloomLocke367 ?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

yup.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 136!

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

now plug that in for a in 7a+3 to find the value of that angle and subtract it from 180

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

no... you need to do 180-136

OpenStudy (anonymous):

44

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

There you go. Do you understand now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

44 is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooooohhhhhhhh......now i get it!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was looking at wvx

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

yes, 44 is your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):
