Answer:
x=18
<W=109 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the two angles are supplementary, they equal 180 degrees, so you can set up the equation like this:
3x+17+6x+1=180
Then combine like terms:
(3x+6x)+(17+1)=180
9x+18=180
subtract 18 from both sides:
9x+18(-18)=180(-18)
9x=162
divide each side by 9:
9x(/9)=162(/9)
x=18
18 is one of your answers.
To find angle W, first plug in the value of x into the equation:
6x+1
6(18)+1
Simplify:
108+1
109
angle W is 109 degrees.
