3. CAT & TAG form a linear pair.
If mCAT=45 is the measure and mTAG=5x+2 find X



Draw angles CAT and TAG
(Please label all points CATG and angle measures given.



Find value if X.

Answer 1

Linear pair means 180°

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 5x+2+45=180`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 5x+47=180`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 5x=180-47=133`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x=(133)/(5)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x=26.6`
