Since two adjacent angles form a resulting angle with a measure of 160 degrees, we have:
3x + (2x + 10) = 160
Combining like terms:
5x + 10 = 160
Subtracting 10 from both sides:
5x = 150
Dividing both sides by 5:
x = 30
Therefore, the measure of angle 1 is 3x, so angle 1 = 3(30) = 90 degrees.
The measure of angle 2 is 2x + 10, so angle 2 = 2(30) + 10 = 70 degrees.
Two adjacent angles form a resulting angle with measure 160 degrees. M<1=3x and m<2=(2x+10). Silve for x what are the two unknow angle measurements
