Question

Two adjacent angles on a straight line are represented as (5x-6) and 7(x + 6)". Find the
value of the complement of the
smaller angle.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

=(5x-6)+7(x+6)=180

=5x-6+7x+42=180

=5x+7x+42-6=180

=12x+36=180

=12x=180-36

12x= 144

X=144/12

=12/1

=12

THEREFORE THE VALUE OF X =2

VERIFICATION: IN THE PLACE OF X SIMPLIFY WITH 2

5(12)-6+7(12)+42=180

60-6+84+42=180

180=180 THEREFORE, LHS=RHS ,HENCE VERIFIED
