Answer 3

First let measure of angle GUY = x
then <BUG = x + 30

these 2 angles are on a straight line so their measures add up to 180 degrees
so form an equation and solve for x.

Answer 4

well could they be 155 and 125 because those are 30 degrees apart and they add up to 180

Answer 5

SHOOT WAIT THATS 280 NEVER MIND

Answer 6

x + x + 30 = 180

Answer 7

180-30 150. 150/75 ?

Answer 8

wher's the x???

Answer 9

hold on 2x=150 150/2=75. isnt that how you do it?

Answer 10

yes

so < GUY = 75 degrees

Answer 11

2x + 30 = 180
2x = 150
x = 150/2 = 75

- best to put each step on a new line.
