If the measure of angle 1 is (3 x minus 4) degrees and the measure of angle 2 is (4 x + 10) degrees, what is the measure of angle 2 in degrees? A horizontal line. A line extends from the line to form a 90 degree angle. Another line cuts through the 2 lines to form angles 1 and 2, which total 90 degrees.

    58 degrees

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If angle 1 + angle 2 = 90 degrees, then:

    (3x - 4) + (4x+10) = 90

    Combine like terms:

    (3x+4x) + (10-4) = 90

    7x + 6 = 90

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    7x = 84

    Divide both sides by 7:

    x = 12

    **Plug x back into angle 2 (This step is easy to forget!):

    angle 2 = 4 (12) + 10

    angle 2 = 48 + 10

    angle 2 = 58 degrees
