Let's set up an equation based on the information given:
M angle 1 = 3X
M angle 2 = 2X + 10
As the sum of adjacent angles is 160°, we have:
M angle 1 + M angle 2 = 160
Substitute the given values for M angle 1 and M angle 2:
3X + 2X + 10 = 160
Combine like terms:
5X + 10 = 160
Subtract 10 from both sides:
5X = 150
Divide by 5:
X = 30
Now we can find the measurements of the two unknown angles:
M angle 1 = 3X = 3(30) = 90 degrees
M angle 2 = 2X + 10 = 2(30) + 10 = 70 degrees
Therefore, the two unknown angle measurements are 90° and 70°.
To adjacent angles from resulting angle with measures of 160° M angle 1 equals 3X degrees and M angle 2 equals 2X +10° solve for X what are the two Unknown angle measurements
