If m∠1 = (3x + 22)° and m∠2 = (2x + 8)° , what is the measure of ∠1 ?

Answer 1

if complementary angles then

3x +22 + 2x + 8 = 90

5x = 60

x = 12

3x+22 = 3(12)+22 = 36+22 = 58 degrees = angle 1

if supplementary angles, then

3x +22 +2x + 8 = 180

5x = 150

x = 30

3x +22 = 90+22 = 112 degrees for angle 1
