Question

Angles C and E are supplementary. The M>C = 112 and M>E = (3x + 50) Solve for X.

Answer 1

The value of x is 6

Explanation:

we know that

If two angles are supplementary, then their sum is equal to 180 degrees

so

In this problem

m∠C+m∠E=180°

we have

m∠C=112°

m∠E=(3x+50)°

substitute and solve for x

112°+(3x+50)°=180°

3x+162=180

3x=180-162

3x=18

x=6
