document.write( "Question 1035997: can someone please help me I don't understand it if the measure of angle RQT is a straight angle what is the measure of angle RQS i\"ll try to draw as much as I can, T________Q________R it then shows a ray going from going up at an angle it then shows the equation 6x+20 sitting on TQ it then shows the equation 2x+14 sitting between RQS someone wrote me the answer of 88 degrees but the acellus site says it's wrong \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #650619 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! if i understand this correctly, your two angles are:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "angle TQS = 6x + 20 \n" ); document.write( "angle SQR = 2x + 14\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "these angles are supplementary, therefore the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you get 6x + 20 + 2x + 14 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "combine like terms to get 8x + 34 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "subtract 34 from both sides of this equation to get 8x = 146 \n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by 8 to get x = 18.25\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 18.25 \n" ); document.write( "6x + 20 = 129.5 \n" ); document.write( "2x + 14 = 50.5 \n" ); document.write( "the sum of the angles is 129.5 +50.5 = 180\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the solution looks good.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "angle TQS is equal to 129.5 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "angle SQR is equal to 50.5 degrees. \n" ); document.write( " |
