  • Supplementary Angles: Angles that add up to 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

We can see from the diagram that the 2 angles are supplementary

(6x - 10)° + (7x + 8)° = 180°

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Combine like terms:                                                                                         13x - 2 = 180
  2. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 2 on both sides:                                    13x = 182
  3. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 13 on both sides:                                x = 14
