Q. ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles. If m∠1=(x+7)∘ and m∠2=(3x+25)∘, then find the measure of ∠1.Answer:
Set up equation: Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. We can set up an equation using the expressions for m/angle 1 and m/angle 2. m/angle 1+m/angle 2=180 degrees(x+7)+(3x+25)=180
Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.x+7+3x+25=1804x+32=180
Isolate x term: Subtract 32 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x.4x+32−32=180−324x=148
Solve for x: Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x.44x=4148x=37
Find angle measure: Now that we have the value of x, we can find the measure of angle 1 by substituting x back into the expression for m/angle 1.m/angle 1=(x+7)m/angle 1=(37+7)m/angle 1=44 degrees
