Finding the Value of x using Supplementary Angles
In this lesson, we learn how to find the value of x using supplementary angles. We start by understanding the relationship between vertical angles and how they are equal to each other. Then, we use the fact that a straight line is 180 degrees to represent the two angles as 2x and 4x plus 108. We then solve for x by adding the two angles together and setting them equal to 180. Finally, we simplify and solve for x, which gives us the value of x as 12.
Finding the value of x using supplementary angles
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
- If I am given the measure of 2 supplementary angles in terms of a variable, then how do I solve for the variable?
- If the measures of 2 supplementary angles are 2x degrees and 4x+10 degrees, then what does x equal?
- What are supplementary angles?
