Math Problem Statement
What are the values of the angles in the image with the equations 2x° and (4x + 108)°?
Solution
In the image provided, you have a pair of intersecting lines forming angles. The two labeled angles are:
Since these angles are on a straight line and adjacent, they are supplementary, meaning their sum is 180°. We can set up the following equation:
Solve the equation:
-
Combine like terms:
-
Subtract 108 from both sides:
-
Divide both sides by 6:
Find each angle:
- The first angle is , so .
- The second angle is , so .
Thus, the two angles are and .
