Question

P and Q form a linear pair if m P=(7x-4) and m Q =(2x-5) find the measure of each angle

Answer 1

Answer:

Angle P = 143º

Angle Q = 37º

Explanation:

Linear pair means the angles add up to 180º

So, using this, set up the equation: 7x - 4 + 2x - 5 = 180

Combine Like Terms

9x - 9 = 180

Add on both sides

9x = 189

Divide

189/9 = 21

Substitute 21 for x

Angle P: 7(21) - 4

Angle Q: 2(21) - 5
