Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For two angles to be supplementary, the sum of the angles must be equal to 180°. Since ∠1  and ∠12 are supplementary according to the question, then;

∠1 +∠12 = 180°

Given

∠1  = (2x+5)°

∠12 = (x+4)°

Required

The value of x

Substituting the given angle into the formula to get x

(2x+5)°+ (x+4)° = 180°

3x+9 = 180

subtract 9 from both sides

3x+9-9 = 180-9

3x = 171

x = 57°

Hence the value of x is 57°
