The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( x \) and the magnitudes of the two adjacent angles formed on a straight line. The angles are given as \( (5x - 6)^\circ \) and \( (7(x + 6))^\circ \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Set up the equation for adjacent angles on a straight line**: Since the angles are adjacent and form a straight line, their sum is equal to \( 180^\circ \). \[ (5x - 6) + (7(x + 6)) = 180 \] 2. **Expand the equation**: First, we will expand the second angle: \[ 7(x + 6) = 7x + 42 \] Therefore, the equation becomes: \[ (5x - 6) + (7x + 42) = 180 \] 3. **Combine like terms**: Combine the \( x \) terms and the constant terms: \[ 5x + 7x - 6 + 42 = 180 \] This simplifies to: \[ 12x + 36 = 180 \] 4. **Isolate the variable \( x \)**: Subtract \( 36 \) from both sides: \[ 12x = 180 - 36 \] \[ 12x = 144 \] 5. **Solve for \( x \)**: Divide both sides by \( 12 \): \[ x = \frac{144}{12} \] \[ x = 12 \] 6. **Find the magnitudes of both angles**: Now that we have \( x = 12 \), we can find the magnitudes of the angles. - For the first angle: \[ 5x - 6 = 5(12) - 6 = 60 - 6 = 54^\circ \] - For the second angle: \[ 7(x + 6) = 7(12 + 6) = 7(18) = 126^\circ \] ### Summary of Results: - The value of \( x \) is \( 12 \). - The magnitudes of the angles are \( 54^\circ \) and \( 126^\circ \).
