Question

Look at the information below. The sum of the measures of angle M and angle R is 90°. © The measure of angle M is (5x + 10). The measure of angle R is 55º. Write an equation that can be used to determine the value of x?​

Answer 1

Their sum is 90

• 55+5x+10=180

Solve it

• 5x+65=90
• 5x=25
• x=5

Answer 2

Solution given;

<M=5x+10

<R=55

<M+<R=90°

5x+10+55=90°[is a required equation]

now solving it

5x=90-65

5x=25

x=25/5

x=5is your answer.
