The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the measures of angles A and B, given that they are supplementary angles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Supplementary Angles**: - By definition, two angles are supplementary if their sum is equal to 180 degrees. - Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ \text{angle A} + \text{angle B} = 180^\circ \] 2. **Substituting the Given Expressions**: - We know that: \[ \text{angle A} = x + 10^\circ \] \[ \text{angle B} = x - 10^\circ \] - Substituting these into the equation gives: \[ (x + 10) + (x - 10) = 180 \] 3. **Simplifying the Equation**: - Combine like terms: \[ x + 10 + x - 10 = 180 \] \[ 2x = 180 \] 4. **Solving for x**: - Divide both sides by 2: \[ x = \frac{180}{2} = 90 \] 5. **Finding Angle A**: - Substitute \( x \) back into the expression for angle A: \[ \text{angle A} = x + 10 = 90 + 10 = 100^\circ \] 6. **Finding Angle B**: - Substitute \( x \) back into the expression for angle B: \[ \text{angle B} = x - 10 = 90 - 10 = 80^\circ \] ### Final Answer: - Therefore, the measures of the angles are: - **Angle A = 100 degrees** - **Angle B = 80 degrees**
