If angle U = 8x + 9 degrees, and angle W = 8x - 5 degrees, then the measure of angle U is ___ degrees.

m<U =

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question, it can be observed that angles U and W are supplementary. These are angles that add up to .

So that;

<U + <W =

(8x + 9) + (8x - 5) =

16x + 4 =

16x = - 4

16 x = 176

x =

  =

The measure of angle U = (8x + 9)

                                        = 8(11) + 9

                                        = 88 + 9

                                        =

Thus, the measure of angle U is .

d is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= 8 because 3x = 3 * 8, and 3*8 = 24

7

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 7
