To find the value of x,we need to set up an equation using the given information.
Since the sum of the measures of angle M and angle L is 90°, we have:
37° + (3x + 5)° = 90°
To solve this equation, we can simplify it by combining like terms:
37° + 3x + 5° = 90°
42° + 3x = 90°
Next, we can isolate the term with x by subtracting 42° from both sides of the equation:
3x = 90° - 42°
3x = 48°
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 48° / 3
x = 16
Therefore, the value of x is 16.
The correct answer is C) 1616.
The sum of the measure of angle M and angle L is 90°.
The measure of angle M is 37°.
The measure of angle L is (3x + 5)°.
