Write an equation that you can use to solve for x. Enter your answer in the box. Two lines intersect at a point, forming two adjacent angles. One adjacent angle is labeled x degrees and the other adjacent angle is labeled 47 degrees.
Accepted Solution
A:
The equation would be x+47=180.
The adjacent angles formed by these two adjacent angles are supplementary; that means that they sum to 180°.
We would solve this by subtracting both sides by 47: x+47-47=180-47 x=133
