This problem uses a linear pair, where adjacent angles on a line sum to 180°. Linear pairs are a type of supplementary angles, distinct from vertical equals or complementary 90°. Equation: (x + 15) + 2x = 180, combine to 3x + 15 = 180, subtract 15 for 3x = 165, divide by 3 for x = 55°. Then m∠2 = 2(55) = 110°, verify with m∠1 = 55 + 15 = 70°, sum 180°. Error like using 90° would give x=25, wrong. Steps: identify linear pair sum, algebraic equation, solve, find angle, verify. Avoid confusing with vertical angles or triangle sums.

This question tests writing and solving equations from angle relationships: supplementary (sum 180°), complementary (sum 90°), vertical (equal), linear pair (adjacent on line, sum 180°), triangle sum (180°). Relationships: supplementary angles sum to 180° (linear pair on straight line, or stated supplementary), complementary sum to 90° (forming right angle), vertical angles equal (opposite when lines intersect), triangle angles sum to 180° (always). Setting up: express angles algebraically (x+15 and 2x), write equation from relationship (supplementary: x+15 + 2x=180), solve (3x+15=180, 3x=165, x=55), find angle measures (55+15=70°, 2×55=110°, verify: 70+110=180✓). For this problem, the correct equation is (x+15)+2x=180, simplifying to 3x=165 so x=55. A common error is using complementary sum of 90°, leading to x=25 and angles not summing to 180°. Strategy: (1) identify relationship (supplementary sum to 180°), (2) express angles algebraically, (3) write equation (sum to 180), (4) solve for x, (5) find angle measures, (6) verify sum. Mistakes: confusing with complementary, solving errors like 3x=165 giving x=50, or skipping verification.

This problem tests writing and solving equations from angle relationships, specifically a linear pair where angles sum to 180°. Linear pairs are adjacent angles on a straight line that sum to 180°, similar to supplementary angles. Here, the angles are 3x and 2x, so set up the equation 3x + 2x = 180, combine like terms to get 5x = 180, and solve for x = 36°. Substituting back, the angles are 108° and 72°, which verify as 108 + 72 = 180°. A common error might be using 90° instead of 180°, leading to x = 18, but that's incorrect for a linear pair. To solve these, identify the relationship (linear pair summing to 180°), express angles algebraically, write and solve the equation, find measures, and verify. Remember, linear pairs differ from vertical angles, which are equal, or complementary angles summing to 90°.

For this problem, the correct equation is 3x+2x=180, simplifying to 5x=180 so x=36, and ∠1 measures 108°.

Mistakes: using wrong sum like 90°, arithmetic errors like 6x=180 giving x=35, or not checking if angles are positive and less than 180°.

This problem tests solving problems with complementary angles, which sum to $90^\circ$. Complementary angles form a right angle together, unlike supplementary that sum to $180^\circ$. Set up the equation $(2x + 10) + (x + 20) = 90$, combine to $3x + 30 = 90$, subtract 30 to get $3x = 60$, and divide by 3 for $x = 20^\circ$. Then, $m\angle A = 2(20) + 10 = 50^\circ$, and verify with $m\angle B = 20 + 20 = 40^\circ$, as $50 + 40 = 90^\circ$. An error could be treating them as supplementary, giving a larger sum and wrong x. Strategy: identify complementary relationship, write algebraic equation summing to $90^\circ$, solve for x, calculate the asked angle, and check the sum. Distinguish from vertical angles (equal) or triangle sums ($180^\circ$).

Relationships: supplementary angles sum to 180° (linear pair on straight line, or stated supplementary), complementary sum to 90° (forming right angle), vertical angles equal (opposite when lines intersect), triangle angles sum to 180° (always). Setting up: express angles algebraically (2x+10 and x+20), write equation from relationship (complementary: 2x+10 + x+20=90), solve (3x+30=90, 3x=60, x=20), find angle measures (2×20+10=50°, x+20=40°, verify: 50+40=90✓). For this problem, the correct equation is (2x+10)+(x+20)=90, simplifying to 3x=60 so x=20.

This problem tests writing and solving equations from angle relationships: supplementary (sum 180°), complementary (sum 90°), vertical (equal), linear pair (adjacent on line, sum 180°), triangle sum (180°). The three interior angles of any triangle sum to 180°, so with angles x°, 2x°, and 3x°, we write x + 2x + 3x = 180. Combining like terms gives 6x = 180, so dividing both sides by 6 yields x = 30. The angles are 30°, 2(30) = 60°, and 3(30) = 90°, and we verify: 30° + 60° + 90° = 180° ✓. A common error would be using a different sum (like 360° for quadrilaterals) or making arithmetic mistakes when dividing. Strategy: remember triangle angles always sum to 180°, add all angle expressions (x + 2x + 3x = 6x), solve for x, then find each angle measure and verify their sum.

This problem tests writing and solving equations from angle relationships: supplementary (sum 180°), complementary (sum 90°), vertical (equal), linear pair (adjacent on line, sum 180°), triangle sum (180°). Complementary angles sum to 90°, so with angles (2x + 10)° and (x + 20)°, we write (2x + 10) + (x + 20) = 90. Expanding gives 2x + 10 + x + 20 = 90, which simplifies to 3x + 30 = 90. Subtracting 30 from both sides: 3x = 60, so x = 20. The angles are 2(20) + 10 = 50° and 20 + 20 = 40°, and we verify: 50° + 40° = 90° ✓. A common error would be using 180° for complementary angles or making arithmetic mistakes when combining terms. Strategy: recognize complementary means sum to 90°, carefully expand and combine like terms, solve for x, then substitute back to find angle measures and verify.

This problem tests writing and solving equations from angle relationships: supplementary (sum 180°), complementary (sum 90°), vertical (equal), linear pair (adjacent on line, sum 180°), triangle sum (180°). Triangle angles sum to 180°, so with angles (2x)°, (x + 20)°, and (x + 40)°, we write 2x + (x + 20) + (x + 40) = 180. Expanding: 2x + x + 20 + x + 40 = 180, which simplifies to 4x + 60 = 180. Subtracting 60: 4x = 120, so x = 30. The angles are 2(30) = 60°, 30 + 20 = 50°, and 30 + 40 = 70°, and we verify: 60° + 50° + 70° = 180° ✓. The smallest angle is 50°. A common error would be identifying the wrong angle as smallest or making arithmetic mistakes. Strategy: set up the triangle sum equation, solve for x, calculate all three angles, identify the smallest, and verify they sum to 180°.
