Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
∠1 + ∠2 = 180 {supplementary}
3x - 17 + 5x + 21 = 180
Add the like terms
8x + 4 = 180
8x = 180 - 4
8x = 176
x = 176/8
x = 22
Answer:
x = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplementary angles add to 180
<1+ <2 =180
(3x - 17) + (5x + 21) = 180
Combine like terms
8x +4 = 180
Subtract 4 from each side
8x +4-4 = 180-4
8x = 176
Divide each side by 8
8x/8 = 176/8
x = 22
