Answer :

Answer:

 ∠1 = 111°
  ∠2 = 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the measures of angles 1 and 2, given ∠1 = 3x°, ∠2 = (x+32)°, and together they comprise a linear pair.

Supplementary

The figure shows the two angles form a linear pair, so they are supplementary:

  ∠1 +∠2 = 180°

  3x° +(x +32)° = 180° . . . . . substitute given expressions

  4x +32 = 180 . . . . . . . . . simplify

  x +8 = 45 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

  x = 37 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 8

  3x° = 111° . . . . . . . . . find the measure of ∠1

  (x +32)° = 69° . . . . find the measure of ∠2

Angle 1 is 111°; angle 2 is 69°.
