a 180 angle straight line is formed by two adjacent angle one angle has a measure of 2x+3 and the other has a measure of x - 6 what are the measuer of the two angels of the two angles make up the strait line
Since the sum of the two adjacent angles forming a straight line is 180 degrees, we can set up the following equation:
(2x + 3) + (x - 6) = 180
Combining like terms:
3x - 3 = 180
Adding 3 to both sides:
3x = 183
Dividing by 3:
x = 61
Now we can find the measures of the two angles:
1st angle: 2x + 3 = 2(61) + 3 = 125 degrees
2nd angle: x - 6 = 61 - 6 = 55 degrees
Therefore, the two angles are 125 degrees and 55 degrees.
