two adjactent angles are on strait line one angel has measure 0f 5x - 28 and the other has a measure of 8x what is the mesause of th secound angle

Answer 1

The sum of two adjacent angles on a straight line is 180 degrees. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

(5x - 28) + 8x = 180

Combining like terms:

13x - 28 = 180

Adding 28 to both sides:

13x = 208

Dividing by 13:

x = 16

So, the second angle has a measure of:

8 * 16 = 128 degrees.
