Answer:

x = 18°

m∠A = 110°

Explanation:

Hello!

Angle A and Angle B are supplementary. Supplementary means they add up to 180°.

Step 1: Solve for x

We can add the two angles together and make it equal to 180° because they are supplementary.

  • Angle A + Angle B = 180°
  • 5x + 20° + 9x - 92° = 180°
  • 14x - 72° = 180°
  • 14x = 252°
  • x = 18°

x = 18°

Step 2: Solve for Angle A

Now that we know the value of x, we can plug it in for the equation of Angle A and solve for the measure of Angle A

  • Angle A = 5x + 20°
  • Angle A = 5(18°) + 20°
  • Angle A = 90° + 20°
  • Angle A = 110°

Angle A = 110°
