Question

angle 1 and angle 2 are supplementary angles. The angles have the following measures: angle 1 = (6x - 6) and angle 2 = (4x - 14) what is an equation to solve for x

Answer 1

Since angle 1 and angle 2 are supplementary angles, their sum must be 180 degrees. Therefore, we can write the equation:

(6x - 6) + (4x - 14) = 180

Now, simplify the equation:

10x - 20 = 180

Add 20 to both sides:

10x = 200

Divide by 10:

x = 20

Therefore, x = 20.
