The measures of two supplementary angles are (3x + 9) ° and (2x + 2) °. What is the measure of the smaller angle? A. 16.6° B. 69.6° C. 22.6° D. 110.4°

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles sum to 180°, hence

3x + 9 + 2x + 2 = 180, that is

5x + 11 = 180 (subtract 11 from both sides)

5x = 169 (divide both sides by 5)

x = 33.8

Hence the smaller angle has a measure of

2x + 2 = (2 * 33.8) + 2 = 67.6 + 2 = 69.6° → B
