Question

Please Help!! What is the measure of angle AXB?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are supplementary when their sum is 180

∠AXB + ∠BXC = 180°   {Supplementary angles}

8x + 10 + 2x - 20 = 180    

Add the like terms

10x - 10 = 180

10x = 180 + 10

10x = 190

x = 190/10

x = 19°

∠AXB  = 8x + 10

          = 8 * 19 +10

          = 152 + 10

∠AXB  = 162

Answer 2

Answer:

180 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: the measure of angle AXB is ( a + a )  and the sum of the measured angles AXB and BXC  = 180 , so a + ( a + a) = 180.

both these angles add up to be 180 degrees because they are both supplementary angles  they both share the sides  of x  and b.  

if it confuses you, just use  a bit of repeated addition and multiplication

for example  : 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 = 5 x 30 which equals to 150

because you add 30 , 5 times .
