Responses

2x+(2x+7)=135
2 x plus open paren 2 x plus 7 close paren is equal to 135

2x=2x+7
2 x is equal to 2 x plus 7

2x+(2x+7)=180
2 x plus open paren 2 x plus 7 close paren is equal to 180

2x−(2x+7)=135
2 x minus open paren 2 x plus 7 close paren is equal to 135

Let's solve the problem step by step.

Question 1

You need to find which equation can be used to determine the value of \( x \).

Given:

  • Measure of angle 1 = \( (2x)^\circ \)
  • Measure of angle 2 = \( (2x + 7)^\circ \)
  • Resulting angle (sum of angle 1 and angle 2) = \( 135^\circ \)

The correct equation to find \( x \) is: \[ 2x + (2x + 7) = 135 \]

So, the response is: 2x + (2x + 7) = 135

Question 2

Now, we solve the equation from Part 1:

  1. Combine like terms: \[ 2x + 2x + 7 = 135 \] \[ 4x + 7 = 135 \]

  2. Subtract 7 from both sides: \[ 4x = 128 \]

  3. Divide by 4: \[ x = 32 \]

Now let's find the measures of each angle:

  1. Angle 1: \[ \text{Measure of angle 1} = 2x = 2(32) = 64^\circ \]

  2. Angle 2: \[ \text{Measure of angle 2} = 2x + 7 = 2(32) + 7 = 64 + 7 = 71^\circ \]

Final Answers for Part 2:

  • \( x = 32 \)
  • Angle \( 2x \) has a measure of \( 64 \) degrees.
  • Angle \( 2x + 7 \) has a measure of \( 71 \) degrees.

So, the completed answers are:

  • \( x = 32 \)
  • Angle \( 2x \) = \( 64 \) degrees
  • Angle \( 2x + 7 \) = \( 71 \) degrees.
