Step-by-step explanation:
as we know supplementary angles measures 180 degrees
so (2x-10) + (4x-15) = 180
6x - 25 = 180
6x = 180+25
x = 205/6
x = 34.16

Answer :-
- The value of x = 34.16
- Value of first angle = 58°
- Value of second angle = 122°
Step-by-step explanation :-
Concept used:
Supplementary angles are angles which sum up to 180°.
Here the values of 2 angles are given in terms of algebraic expressions. On solving it and equating it to 180°, we can easily find the value of x.
Solution:
Using the above mentioned concept,
(2x - 10) + (4x - 15) = 180°
⇒ 2x - 10 + 4x - 15 = 180
⇒ 6x - 25 = 180
⇒ 6x = 180 + 25
⇒ 6x = 205
⇒ x = 205 ÷ 6
⇒ x = 34.16
Finding the angles:
- (2x - 10)
= 2 (34.16) - 10
= 58.33°
∴ On approximation, the first angle is 58°
- (4x - 15)
= 4 (34.16) - 15
= 136.64 - 15
= 121.64°
∴ On approximation, the first angle is 122°
