Question

The angles shown below are supplementary:

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

supplentary means they add to 180

so you can make the formula 180 = 10x + 80

then solve for x

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to equal 180°

Thus, 10x + 80 = 180

Now that we have identified the equation we solve for x

10x + 80 = 180

step 1 subtract 80 from each side

80 - 80 cancels out

180 - 80 = 100

we now have 100 = 10x

step 2 divide each side by 10

100 / 10 = 10

10x / 10 = x

we're left with x = 10
