10x°+20°=180°
10 x plus 20 equals 180

10x°−20°=180°
10 x minus 20 equals 180

9x°−20°=180°
9 x minus 20 equals 180

x°−20°=180°

Answer 1

Since angles ∠MAT and ∠TAH are supplementary, their measures add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, we can set up the equation as follows:

\[ (6x - 6) + (4x - 14) = 180 \]

Simplifying this, we have:

\[ 6x - 6 + 4x - 14 = 180 \] \[ 10x - 20 = 180 \]

So, the correct equation to solve for \(x\) is

10x° − 20° = 180°
