Question

A 180° angle (straight line) is formed by two adjacent angles.

One angle has a measure of (2x + 3) ° and the other has a. measure of (x - 6) °. What are the measures of the two angles that make up the straight line? (1 point)

The two angles that make up the straight line have a total measure of 180°.

We can set up an equation:
(2x + 3) + (x - 6) = 180

Simplifying the equation:
3x - 3 = 180

Adding 3 to both sides of the equation:
3x = 183

Dividing both sides by 3:
x = 61

So, the measure of the first angle is:
2x + 3 = 2(61) + 3 = 122 + 3 = 125°

And the measure of the second angle is:
x - 6 = 61 - 6 = 55°

Therefore, the measures of the two angles that make up the straight line are 125° and 55°.
