If the measure of angle 2 is (5 x + 14) degrees and angle 3 is (7 x minus 14) degrees, what is the measure of angle 1 in degrees? 2 lines intersect to form 4 angles. From top left, clockwise, the angles are 1, 2, 3, 4.
88 degrees
89 degrees
90 degrees
91 degrees

89 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle 1 is the same as angle 3.

Angle 2 is the same as angle 4.

The sum of these four angles is 360 degrees.

We have that:

Angle 2 = Angle 4 = 7x - 14

Angle 3 = Angle 1 = 5x + 14

Finding x:

Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 + Angle 4 = 360

2*(5x + 14) + 2*(7x - 14) = 360

10x + 28 + 14x - 28 = 360

24x = 360

x = 15

Angle 1:

5x + 14 = 5*15 + 14 = 89 degrees
