Two vertical angles are represented by the expressions m∠ABC=(4x+8)° and m∠DBE=(6x+4)° The sum of the angles is 126° Which equation represents the angles? B4x+8+6x+4=126 C4x+8=6x+4+126°

Question

Answer quick please!\

B or C?

Answer 1

Hi, Sydney!

You're adding the two angles together to get to 126°, so let's start off simple:

∠ABC + ∠DBC = 126°

Since we know that ∠ABC = 4x + 8, we can replace ∠ABC in our equation with the expression 4x + 8. We can do the same with ∠DBC and the expression 6x + 4. Now, our equation looks more like this:

4x + 8 + 6x + 4 = 126

This equation looks a lot like answer B, so I'd go with that one!
