The sum of the measure of angle M and angle L is 90, the measure of angle M is 37. The measure of angle is three x plus five what is the value of x

Answer 1

Let's solve for the value of x.

Since the sum of the measure of angle M and angle L is 90, we have:

M + L = 90

Given that the measure of angle M is 37, we substitute this value into the equation:

37 + L = 90

Now we can isolate L:

L = 90 - 37
L = 53

Finally, we have the measure of angle L as 53.

The measure of angle L is three x plus five, so:

53 = 3x + 5

Subtracting 5 from both sides:

48 = 3x

Dividing both sides by 3:

x = 16

Therefore, the value of x is 16.
