The angles shown below are supplementary:

A pair of supplementary angles is shown. One angle measures 10x and the other angle measures 70 degrees.
What is the value of x? 10°

11°

20°

21°

1 answer

The sum of supplementary angles is 180 degrees. Therefore, we have the equation:
10x + 70 = 180
Subtract 70 from both sides:
10x = 110
Divide by 10:
x = 11

Therefore, the value of x is 11.

So, the answer is:
11°
