supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees x and y are supplementary do u think u can make an equation based off of this information

Lazorwolf64:

So would it be 60 degrees? for x?

Lazorwolf64:

I mean 90

no you have to create a equation it would be x + y = 180 degrees ( because x and y are supplementary and supplementary angles have a sum of 180 degrees )

SwaggyMark:

we are given the value of y so we plug that in to the equation giving us x + 156 = 180 from there solve for x

Lazorwolf64:

The thing that im not getting is how did you get y?

SwaggyMark:

sorry angle y
