Answer 1

Answer: x = 25

Explanation:

We are given a line, hence it is a straight angle being 180°

Therefore,

=> 5x - 5 + 2x + 10 = 180

= 5x - 5 + 2x = 180 - 10 = 170

= 5x + 2x = 170 + 5 = 175

= 7x = 175

=> x = 175/7 = 25

Therefore, x = 25

Additionally, finding the values of each angle :-

=> 5x - 5

= 5(25) - 5

= 125 - 5

=> 120°

=> 2x + 10

= 2(25) + 10

= 50 + 10

=> 60°

Therefore, one angle is 120° and the other is 60°

Answer 2

x = 25

Explanation:

When you combine both angles, you can get a supplementary angle which means that when they are both added, it should add up to be 180 degrees. With that being said, we can create an equation and solve for x.

5x - 5 + 2x + 10 = 180

~Combine like terms

7x + 5 = 180

~Subtract 5 to both sides

7x = 175

~Divide 7 to both sides

x = 25

Best of Luck!
