write an equation for two angles for measurements of (2x+5) and (x-8)

1 answer

To write an equation involving the two angles measured at \(2x + 5\) and \(x - 8\), we first need to define a relationship between these angles. Common relationships include the angles being equal, complementary (adding to 90 degrees), or supplementary (adding to 180 degrees).

Here are examples of equations for each case:

  1. Equal Angles: \[ 2x + 5 = x - 8 \]

  2. Complementary Angles: \[ (2x + 5) + (x - 8) = 90 \]

  3. Supplementary Angles: \[ (2x + 5) + (x - 8) = 180 \]

You can solve any of these equations based on the context of the problem you are working with. Let me know if you would like to solve one of these equations!
