Question

the measure of angle 1 is (3x + 10)° and the measure of angle 4 is (4x - 15)° what is the measure of angle 7?

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of supplementary angles

Since angle \(1\) and angle \(4\) are supplementary (\(\angle1+\angle4 = 180^{\circ}\)), we have the equation \((3x + 10)+(4x-15)=180\).

Step2: Solve the equation for \(x\)

Simplify the left - hand side: \(3x+10 + 4x-15=7x - 5\). So, \(7x-5 = 180\). Add \(5\) to both sides: \(7x=180 + 5=185\). Then \(x = 25\).

Step3: Find the measure of \(\angle1\)

Substitute \(x = 25\) into \(\angle1=(3x + 10)^{\circ}\). \(\angle1=(3\times25+10)^{\circ}=(75 + 10)^{\circ}=85^{\circ}\).

Step4: Use the property of corresponding angles

\(\angle1\) and \(\angle5\) are corresponding angles (\(\angle1=\angle5\)), so \(\angle5 = 85^{\circ}\).

Step5: Use the property of supplementary angles for \(\angle5\) and \(\angle7\)

Since \(\angle5+\angle7 = 180^{\circ}\) (linear - pair of angles), then \(\angle7=180^{\circ}-\angle5\). Substitute \(\angle5 = 85^{\circ}\), we get \(\angle7=180 - 85=95^{\circ}\). (Wait, there was a mistake above. Let's start from Step1 again correctly)

Step1: Use the property of vertical angles (wrong in previous, correct: \(\angle1\) and \(\angle3\) are vertical angles, \(\angle4\) and \(\angle2\) are vertical angles. Also, \(\angle1\) and \(\angle4\) are same - side interior angles. Wait, no, correct: \(\angle1\) and \(\angle4\) are supplementary (co - interior angles if lines \(c\) and \(b\) are parallel). Since \(c\parallel b\) (by the arrow marks), \(\angle1+\angle4=180^{\circ}\). So \((3x + 10)+(4x-15)=180\), \(7x-5 = 180\), \(7x=185\), \(x = 25\). Then \(\angle1=(3\times25 + 10)=85^{\circ}\). \(\angle1\) and \(\angle5\) are corresponding angles (\(\angle1=\angle5 = 85^{\circ}\)). \(\angle7\) and \(\angle5\) are supplementary (linear pair). So \(\angle7=180 - 85=95^{\circ}\). (Another mistake: Wait, no, \(\angle1=(3x + 10)\), \(\angle4=(4x-15)\). Correct equation: \(3x+10+4x - 15=180\), \(7x-5 = 180\), \(7x=185\) (wrong, \(3x+4x=7x\), \(10-15=-5\), \(7x=185\) (wrong, \(7x=195\) (wait \(3x + 10+4x-15=180\), \(7x-5 = 180\), \(7x=185\) (no, \(3x+4x=7x\), \(10-15=-5\), \(7x=180 + 5=185\) (wrong, \(3x+10+4x-15=180\), \(7x-5 = 180\), \(7x=185\) (no! \(3x+4x=7x\), \(10-15=-5\), \(7x=180 + 5=185\) (wrong arithmetic). Correct: \(3x+10+4x-15=180\), \(7x-5 = 180\), \(7x=185\) (no! \(3x+4x=7x\), \(10-15=-5\), \(7x=180+5 = 185\) (no, \(180+5 = 185\), \(x = 25\). Then \(\angle1=3\times25+10=85\), \(\angle4=4\times25-15=85\) (no! Wait, no, \(\angle1+\angle4=180\). If \(x = 25\), \(\angle1=3\times25 + 10=85\), \(\angle4=4\times25-15=85\) (no, \(85 + 85

Wait, correct: \(3x+10+4x-15=180\), \(7x=180 + 5=185\) (no! \(3x+4x=7x\), \(10-15=-5\), so \(7x=180+5 = 185\) (no, \(180+5 = 185\), \(x = 25\).
