Answer:

A = 30 i hope this helps! :)

Explanation:

a straight line is 180 degrees

we are given two angle measurements

measure of angle A = 6x - 18

measure of angle B = 14x + 38

so now we need to combine the equations together and have them equal 180 degrees

6x - 18 + 14x + 38 = 180

combine like terms

first the x values 20x - 18 + 38 = 180

now the regular numbers 20x + 20 = 180

subtract 20 from both sides of the equation 20x = 160

then divide both sides by 20 x = 8

now that we have the value of x, we can plug it into the equation for angle A

lets see the equation for angle A again

A = 6x - 18

plug in the x value to 6x

A = 48 - 18

combine like terms

A = 30
