Two angles form a linear pair. One angle measures 2
x
and the other angle measures
10
x
. Find the measure of the smaller angle.

30 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

a linear pair adds up to 180 degrees. therefore, you can compose the equation 2x+10x=180

12x=180

x=15

the smaller angle is 2x, so 2 times 15 is 30

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
