Answer 1

To find the equation for the two adjacent angles, you start by noting that if these two angles are inside a 90° angle, their total measure must equal 90°.

The measures of the two adjacent angles are given as:

• First angle: \( x + 18 \)
• Second angle: \( x \)

So, the equation for the two adjacent angles can be set up as follows:

\[ (x + 18) + x = 90 \]

This equation states that the sum of the two angles equals 90 degrees, which is appropriate since they are adjacent and together they form a right angle.
