Angle x is (2n + 12)°, and angle y is (3n + 18)° . Find the measure of angle x.
A) 24°
B) 30°
C) 72°
D) 108°

Answer:
Since both angles make up the sum of the straight line, they are supplementary, or 180°. So
2n + 12 + 3n + 18 = 180
5n + 30 = 180
5n = 150
n = 30
So the measure of angle x is 2(30)+12 = 72°.
