Question

M is less than angleAOC = 108 degrees m is less than angle AOB = 3x + 4 degrees m is less than angle BOC = 8x - 28 degrees Find m is less than angle AOB

Answer 1

Answer: angleAOB = 40°

Step-by-step explanation: Drawing these angles, we see that angle AOC is the sum of angle AOB and angle BOC, so:

angleAOC = angleAOB + angleBOC

108 = 3x + 4 + 8x - 28

108 + 24 = 11x

11x = 132

x = 12

Knowing x, to find angleAOB, just substitute and calculate:

angleAOB = 3x+4

angleAOB = 3.12 + 4

angleAOB = 40°

The angle AOB is 40°.
