Set up a proportion.
2/3 = 12/x. Cross multiply the proportion.
2x = 36. Solve for x.
x = 18.
Answer:
68 1/3, 111 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two supplementary angles is 180°, so ...
(x +10) +(2x -5) = 180
3x +5 = 180 . . . . . collect terms
x +5/3 = 60 . . . . . divide by 3
x = 58 1/3 . . . . . . . subtract 5/3
The first angle is ...
x +10 = 58 1/3 +10 = 68 1/3
The second angle is ...
2x -5 = 2(58 1/3) -5 = 116 2/3 -5 = 111 2/3
The angles measure 68 1/3 and 111 2/3.
The y- axis goes up and down.
and......
The x- axis goes from left right.
