Question

If (2x - 7) and (3x-10) from a linear pair then what is the measure of the two angles

Answer 1

Answer:

linear pair = 180 °

so..

(2x - 7) + (3x -10) =180

2x -7 + 3x -10 =180

2x + 3x -7 -10 = 180

5x -17 =180

5x = 180+17

5x = 197

x = 197/5

x = 35.4

so.

1st

2x-7

= 2(35.4) -7

= 70.8 - 7

= 63.8

2nd.

3x-10

= 3(35.4) -10

= 96.2

therefore measures of 2 angles are

63.8 and 96.2
