Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the image provided, you have two angles that are given along the line:
Since and form a linear pair (they are on a straight line), their sum must equal . This is because adjacent angles on a straight line are supplementary.
Let's solve for :
Simplifying this equation:
Subtract 24 from both sides:
Now, divide by 13:
Now that we know , we can find the measure of the angles:
Thus, and .
