angles. One
angle has a measure of (2x + 3) and the other has a measure
of (X -6)
What are the measures of the two angles that make up
the straight line? (1 point)
The sum of the two angles that make up a straight line is 180 degrees. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
(2x + 3) + (x - 6) = 180
Combine like terms:
3x - 3 = 180
Add 3 to both sides:
3x = 183
Divide by 3:
x = 61
Now plug x back into the expressions for the angles:
First angle: 2(61) + 3 = 125
Second angle: 61 - 6 = 55
So, the two angles that make up the straight line have measures of 125 degrees and 55 degrees.
