Question

The angles shown are supplementary What is

the value of x One angle is 3x and the other is 96

Answer 1

x = 28

Explanation:

Supplementary angles mean that both angles are equal to 180. So, the equation becomes 3x + 96 = 180. Solving for x, we get 28.

Answer 2

The value of x is 28

Explanation:

Given :

• Angles are supplementary
• One angle = 3x
• Other angle = 96

Now,

Supplementary angles are a pair of angles that make sum of 180° .

Therefore, The sum of given angles will be equal to 180°.

i.e. one angle + other angle = 180°

Substituting the values of angles , we get..

`⇢3x + 96 = 180`

`⇢3x = 180 - 96`

`⇢3x = 84`

`⇢x = (84)/(3)`

`⇢ \boxed{x = 28}`
