Answer 1

To find the measures of the two angles that make up the straight line, we can set up the equation:
(2x + 3) + (x - 6) = 180

Combining like terms, we get:
3x - 3 = 180

Adding 3 to both sides, we get:
3x = 183

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:
x = 61

Substituting x = 61 back into the original equations, we get:
(2(61) + 3) = 125
(61 - 6) = 55

Therefore, the measures of the two angles that make up the straight line are 125° and 55°.

Answer 3

To find the angle measures of the two unknown angles, we can set up the equation:
(x - 5) + (3x) = 107

Combining like terms, we get:
4x - 5 = 107

Adding 5 to both sides, we get:
4x = 112

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:
x = 28

Substituting x = 28 back into the original equations, we get:
(28 - 5) = 23
(3(28)) = 84

Therefore, the angle measures of the two unknown angles are 23° and 84°.
