The sum of the measures of angle Y and angle Z is 180 degrees. Angle Y measures (3x + 20) degrees and Angle Z measures x degrees.

A.) write an equation and solve for the value of x.

B.) what is the measure of each angle?

Sagot :

A)
The question tells us that
y + z = 180
And
y=3x+20
z=x

So we put them in the first formula:

y + z = 180
(3x + 20) + x = 180

Add and get x to one side:
4x + 20 = 180
4x + 20 - 20 = 180-20
4x = 160
Divide both sides by 4
x = 40

B)
Put x back in to equation to get size of each angle:

Y =3x +20
Y=3(40)+20
Y=120+20
Y=140

Z=x
Z=40

Verify: y+z=180
140+40=180
180=180
