To solve for x, we need to set up an equation that represents the fact that /M AT and /T AH are supplementary angles.
Since supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees, we have the equation:
(M AT) + (T AH) = 180
Substitute the given expressions for the angle measures:
(6x - 6) + (4x - 14) = 180
Combine like terms:
10x - 20 = 180
Add 20 to both sides:
10x = 200
Divide by 10:
x = 20
Therefore, the equation to solve for x is 10x = 200.
/M AT and /T AH are supplementary angles. The angles have the following measures: /M AT = 6x -6) and /T AH = 4x - 14) . What is an equation to solve for x?
