The two adjacent angles form a straight line, so their sum is 180 degrees. Therefore, we have:
3x + (2x + 10) = 180
Combining like terms:
5x + 10 = 180
Subtracting 10 from both sides:
5x = 170
Dividing both sides by 5:
x = 34
Therefore, m angle 1 = 3x = 3(34) = 102 degrees, and m angle 2 = 2x + 10 = 2(34) + 10 = 78 degrees.
Two adjacent angles form a resulting angle with measure 160 degrees. m angle 1=3x degree and m angle 2 =(2x+10) degrees. Solve for x. What are the two unknown angles measurements
