You know that the two angles make up a perfectly flat line, which is a 180<span>° angle. So we can create the equation:'
3x + 10 = 12x
Now solve for 'x'. Subtract 3x to both sides:
10 = 9x
Divide 9 to both sides:
x = 10/9
We want to find the smaller angle, so put this value in for 'x' in '3x + 10':
3x + 10
3(10/9) + 10
30/9 + 10
13 1/3</span><span>°</span>
19/29
Find the common factor which in this case is 2. Divide numerator and denominator by common factor. You’re left with 19/29. Since 19 and 29 don’t have any common factors it is in its simplest form.
The numerator is 0, the denominator is -11, the division symbol is -, and the value of the fraction is 0 because the value of the numerator is 0
