Answer:

x=70

Explanation:

Because the pair is a supplement, it should add up to 180°, so that means that (2x+6)+34=180

Answer:


x=70°

Explanation:

Supplementary angles are a pair of angles that form a linear pair, or a straight angle/line, and their measure sum to
180°. We are given a pair of supplementary angles with measures of
(2x+6)° and
34°. Therefore, all we have to do to find the value of
x is set the sum of the given angles' measures to
180°. In an equation, that would be:


2x+6+34=180

Solving for
x, we get:


2x+6+34=180


2x+40=180 (Simplify LHS by combining like terms)


2x+40-40=180-40 (Subtract
40 from both sides of the equation to isolate
x)


2x=140 (Simplify)


(2x)/(2) =(140)/(2) (Divide both sides of the equation by
2 to get rid of
x's coefficient)


x=70° (Simplify)

Hope this helps!
