@purple_pink

Answer 12

which do you need help on? Can you post one question per page?

Answer 13

The first one

Answer 14

Since the angles form a straight line, they're supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).

Answer 15

So can you figure out the equation to set up?

Answer 16

No i don't get it

Answer 17

A line is 180 degrees, and the two angles form a line, so they add up to 180 degrees.

Answer 18

oh ok

Answer 19

What about the second and third ones?

Answer 20

You got the answer for the first question?

Answer 21

I think its 97

Answer 22

Can you show how you got that?

Answer 23

I just guessed

Answer 24

Well you know the two angles add up to 180. The angles are 2x+19 and 3x+1.
You can set up an equation now.

Answer 25

I don't know how to solve them

Answer 26

Do you have the equation?

Answer 27

I mean did you set up the equation

Answer 28

2x+19 = 3x+1

Answer 29

2x+19 + 3x+1= 180

Answer 30

Yes the second one is correct. 2x+19 + 3x+1= 180

Answer 31

ok

Answer 32

Now solve for x and plug x back into each angle (2x+19) and (3x+1) to see which angle is larger. The larger one will be the answer (that's what the question asks for).

Answer 33

ok

Answer 34

What do you get for x and what does each angle equal?

Answer 35

32

Answer 36

Good so far, x=32

Answer 37

ok

Answer 38

Now plug 32 back into each angle to get a number value for the angles.

Answer 39

83

Answer 40

Yes, good job. 83 is the measure of the angle 2x+19. Now do the other angle.

Answer 41

What about the other two?

Answer 42

Because the question asks for the larger angle, so there's a possibility that the angle 3x+1 is larger than the angle 2x+19. So to be sure we have to get the measure of angle 3x+1 too.

Answer 43

I don't know what the measure of the other angle is, I just assumed 83 was the answer.

Answer 44

14

Answer 45

@anthonyym

Answer 46

Well do the same thing you did to get 83; plug 32 into 3x+1 to get the measure of angle 3x+1

Answer 47

I meant plug 32 as x into 3x+1

Answer 48

97

Answer 49

Is that right?

Answer 50

Yes, 97 is the measure of angle 3x+1.
Now compare 97 degrees to the measure of the other angle 2x+19. The question asks for the larger angle, so the larger of the two is the answer.

Answer 51

so 97

Answer 52

Correct, the answer is 97

Answer 53

Next questions please!

Answer 54

Help please

Answer 55

Can you post each question separately on a new page (so it goes to the top and other people can answer it). Because I have to go and I have some stuff to do (sorry)
