Math Problem Statement
Angle F and angle H are supplementary.
• The measure of angle F is 77°
• The measure of angle H is (5x+18)°
Which equation can be used to calculate the value of x ? A.77 = 5x + 18
B.77 + (5x + 18) = 180
C.77 + (5x + 18) = 90
D.77 + (5x + 18) = 360
Solution
Since angles and are supplementary, their measures add up to . This relationship gives us the following equation:
So, the correct answer is:
B.
