Question

Identify the relationship (complementary, linear pair/supplementary, or vertical) and find the value of x in the image below.​

Answer 1

Complementary and x = 24°

Explanation:

→ Recognise that angles on a straight line add up to 180°

x + 8° + 148° = 180°

→ Simplify equation

x + 156° = 180°

→ Minus 156° from both sides of the equation to isolate x

x = 24°
