Answer:

x = 15

Explanation:

Two angles are supplementary and their sum is 180

6x + 5 + 6x - 5 = 180 add like terms

12x = 180 divide both sides by 12

x = 15

Answer:

x = 15

Explanation:

The two angles add to a straight line, so they add to 180

6x-5 + 6x+5 = 180

Combine like terms

12x = 180

Divide by 12

12x/12 =180/12

x =15
