Exercise 26 Page 429

The sum of the measures of supplementary angles is 180^(∘).

156^(∘)

Practice makes perfect
The sum of the measures of supplementary angles is 180^(∘). Therefore, when ∠ 2 is added to its supplement x, it will equal 180^(∘). m∠ 2+ x =180^(∘) Since we know m∠ 2, we can find the supplementary angle by substituting this value into our equation.
m∠ 2+x=180^(∘)
24^(∘)+x=180^(∘)
x=156^(∘)
