ANSWER
25
EXPLANATION
We are given that p and q intersect to form <1 and <2 that are adjacent.
Let us represent that with a diagram:
We have that <1 and <2 are supplementary.
This means that they add up to 180 degrees.
So:
<1 + <2 = 180
4x - 3 + 3x + 8 = 180
Collect like terms:
4x + 3x + 5 = 180
7x = 180 - 5
7x = 175
x = 175 / 7
x = 25
That s the value of x for which <1 and <2 are supplementary.
