2 angles are supplementary period, the first angle measures (10x+3),and the second measures (15x-5). write an equation to determine the value of x , then solve your equation and find the measures of both angles.

Respuesta :

The first angle is

[tex](10x+3)[/tex]

The second angle is

[tex](15x-5)[/tex]

These two angles are supplementary.

This means that the sum of these two angles is equal to 180°

So, we can write the equation as

[tex](10x+3)+(15x-5)=180[/tex]

Now let us solve this equation for x.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 10x+3+15x-5=180 \\ 10x+15x+3-5=180 \\ 25x-2=180 \\ 25x=180+2 \\ 25x=182 \\ x=\frac{182}{25} \\ x=7.28 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now we can find both angles

[tex]\begin{gathered} 10x+3=10(7.28)+3=72.8+3=75.8\degree \\ 15x-5=15(7.28)-5=109.2-5=104.2\degree_{}_{} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore,

x = 7.28

first angle = 75.8°

second angle = 104.2°
