It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled
"Finding Supplementary Angles", which asks students to find the value of \( x \) in each supplementary angle pair. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll guide you through how to solve such problems and provide a general explanation based on typical problems found in this type of worksheet.
---
🔍 What Are Supplementary Angles?
Two angles are
supplementary if their measures add up to
180 degrees.
So, if two angles are supplementary:
\[
\text{Angle 1} + \text{Angle 2} = 180^\circ
\]
---
📌 How to Solve These Problems
Each problem will show two angles (often adjacent or forming a straight line), one labeled with an expression involving \( x \), and the other either given as a number or also in terms of \( x \). Your goal is to set up an equation and solve for \( x \).
Let’s go through
typical examples that might appear on your worksheet:
---
####
✔ Example 1:
One angle is \( 3x + 10^\circ \), the other is \( 50^\circ \)
Set up the equation:
\[
(3x + 10) + 50 = 180
\]
\[
3x + 60 = 180
\]
\[
3x = 120
\]
\[
x = 40
\]
✔ Answer: \( x = 40 \)
---
####
✔ Example 2:
Angles are \( 2x \) and \( x + 30^\circ \)
\[
2x + (x + 30) = 180
\]
\[
3x + 30 = 180
\]
\[
3x = 150
\]
\[
x = 50
\]
✔ Answer: \( x = 50 \)
---
####
✔ Example 3:
One angle is \( 4x - 20^\circ \), the other is \( 5x + 10^\circ \)
\[
(4x - 20) + (5x + 10) = 180
\]
\[
9x - 10 = 180
\]
\[
9x = 190
\]
\[
x = \frac{190}{9} \approx 21.11
\]
⚠️ This would be unusual unless decimals are allowed. But most problems have whole numbers.
---
🔧 General Steps to Solve:
1.
Identify the two angles shown.
2.
Write an equation where the sum equals 180°.
3.
Simplify and solve for \( x \).
4.
Check by plugging back into the expressions.

📝 Common Types of Diagrams
- Two angles forming a
straight line → supplementary.
- A
ray splitting a straight line → two angles next to each other.
- Sometimes one angle is marked as \( x \), the other as \( 2x \), etc.

🛠️ If You Can Describe the Problems...
Since I can’t see the image, please describe the
specific equations or diagrams from the worksheet, and I’ll help you solve them step-by-step.
For example, say:
> "Problem 1: One angle is 3x + 10, the other is 50 degrees."
Then I can give you the exact solution.

💡
Tip: Always remember:
\[
\text{Supplementary angles} \Rightarrow \text{Sum} = 180^\circ
\]
\[
\text{Complementary angles} \Rightarrow \text{Sum} = 90^\circ
\]
