Find the measure of angle T if the measure of angle T is 20 more than 4 times its supplement.
the supplement of T is 180-T
T = 4(180-T) + 20
T = 720 - 4T + 20
5T = 740
T = 148
so the supplement is 32
Check T = 148
is that 20 more than 4(32) ? Yes!
(In the previous reply you stated that you don't know how to solve the equation I gave you.
I don't understand how you can do any of these questions if you don't know how to solve simple equations.)
well tha answer to that statement is im not very good at math at all. I hve a 65 right now. so I hope that helps you understand!!
thank you so much
To find the measure of angle T, we need to set up an equation based on the information given. Let's represent the measure of angle T as x.
According to the problem, the measure of angle T is 20 more than 4 times its supplement.
The supplement of angle T is (180 - x) degrees.
So we can set up the equation:
x = 4(180 - x) + 20
Let's solve this equation step-by-step to find the value of x:
1. Distribute the 4:
x = 720 - 4x + 20
2. Combine like terms:
x + 4x = 720 + 20
5x = 740
3. Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 740/5
x = 148
Therefore, the measure of angle T is 148 degrees.
