Question

An illustration shows three rays extending from a common origin. The angle measures between them are labeled X +4° equals what and 3X +2° equals

Answer 1

The angle between the first and second rays is X + 4°.
The angle between the first and third rays is 3X + 2°.

To find out what X is equal to, we can set these two angles equal to each other:

X + 4 = 3X + 2

Solving for X:

Subtract X from both sides:

4 = 2X + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides:

2 = 2X

Divide by 2:

X = 1

Therefore, the angle measures are:
X + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5°
3X + 2 = 3(1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5°

So, the angle measures are 5° each.
