Question

Which is correct and why?

1. Amelia is correct because 77+x=115
2.leo is correct because 77+x=115
3. Amelia is correct because x=77+115
4.leo is correct because x=77+114

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

The measure of angle x would be shown as 77+x=115 because we know these two angles have to equal 115, which is true as 77+38=115. The angle can't be larger than we already know it is, so Amelia is wrong anyway.
