Math Problem, help please!?

Question

Okay, I need you to tell me how you did this please. (the < are supposed to show that an angle symbol. sorry) the question is:

If m<5=3x-6, and m<6=4x+4, then what does x equal?

I don't understand this problem at all. I just started this class, and its a class not even intended for my grade level to take. so far, this is the only problem I dont understand. PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

You first have to know if the angles are equal or complementary or supplementary. If they are equal, set 3x - 6 = 4x + 4; x = -10. So, they probably are not equal since there is a negative answer. If supplementary, then 3x-6+4x+4 = 180; 7x = 182; x = 26. Then the angles are 72 degrees and 108 degrees. If they are complementary, set them equal to 90 and solve.

Answer 2

not enogh info. What is the relationship between the two angles. Are they complementary, supplementary, congruent, or ?

Edit your question and I&#039;ll answer it.
