Marta said 50+ 1/2m=120 is an equation, while maribel argued that it is an expression. determine who is correct and explain why.

Marta is correct. This is an equation. The statement includes an equal sign. Equations include an equal sign, expressions do not include an equal sign.

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
