Two angles are supplementary. The first angle is 4x degrees. The second angle is (2x+6) degrees. Determine the measure of each angle

Respuesta :

Answer:

116 and 64 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles  add up to 180 degrees so we can create the following equation and solve for x:

4x + 2x + 6 = 180

6x + 6 = 180

6x = 180 - 6 = 174

x = 174/6 = 29.

So the first angle is 4*29 = 116 degrees and the second is  2*29 + 6 = 64 degrees.

To confirm these results add them up: 116 + 64 = 180 degrees.

The measure of the angles that are supplementary are 116 degrees and 64 degrees.

Supplementary angles are 2 angles that sum up to 180 degrees.

Therefore,

first angle = 4x

second angle = 2x + 6

4x + 2x + 6 = 180

6x + 6 = 180

subtract 6 from both sides

6x + 6 - 6 = 180 - 6

6x = 174

divide both sides by 6

6x / 6 = 174 / 6

x  = 29

Therefore,

first angle = 4(29) = 116°

second angle = 2(29) + 6 = 64°
