Write an equation for these two supplementary angles. (1 point) b. Explain how to solve for the value of x.

Answer 1

Let x represent the measure of one angle. The measure of its supplementary angle can be represented as 180 - x.

To solve for the value of x, set up an equation where the sum of the measures of the angles equals 180 degrees:

x + (180 - x) = 180

Simplify the equation:

x + 180 - x = 180

Combine like terms:

180 = 180

Thus, any value of x would satisfy this equation. The result is an identity, meaning that the value of x can be any real number.
