Question 135121: Can you please help me figure out the proper equation used to solve the following problem.
Angles M and N are supplementary angles. Solve for x and each missing angle. If: measure of angle M equals 2x + 10 degrees and measure of angle N equals 3x + 40 degrees.

Angles M and N are supplementary angles. Solve for x and each missing angle. If: measure of angle M equals 2x + 10 degrees and measure of angle N equals 3x + 40 degrees.
---------------------
M + N = 180
(2x+10) + 3x+40) = 180
5x + 50 = 180
5x = 130
x = 26
M = 2x+10 = 2*26 + 10 = 62 degrees
N = 3x+40 = 3*26 + 40 = 118 degrees
