The supplement of an angle is twice the meausurement of the angle. find the measurement of the smaller angle

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

60

Discussion:

Let the angle be @. The supplement of the angle is 180 - @ and we are told it equals [email protected] That is,

180 [email protected] = [email protected]                     => add @ to both sides

180       = [email protected] [email protected]              => [email protected] [email protected] = [email protected]

180       = [email protected]                    => divide both sides by 3

180/3 = @

@ = 60

Check: the supplement of an angle (which is 180 - @ - 180 -60 = 120) is twice the measure of the angle (@ = 60 and [email protected] = 120). Indeed, they agree.

Thank you,

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.
