What is the sum of the measures of two angles forming a linear pair?
32
Practice makes perfect
We have been given a pair of angles forming a linear pair and their measures written as algebraic expressions.
m∠ABC=& (3x+20)^(∘)
m∠CBD=& (x+32)^(∘)
Since the angles form a linear pair, we know that the sum of their measures should equal 180^(∘). We can solve for x by creating an equation using the expressions for the two smaller angles and their sum.
