HELP DUE IN 25 MINUITES

Two angles are supplementary, and one angle is 4 times larger than the other.
Let x be the measure of the smaller angle (in degrees).
Let y be the measure of the larger angle (in degrees).

Solve for x then y

Answer 1

x = 288

y = 72

Explanation:

x + y = 180

x = 4y

4y + y = 180

5y = 180

y = 72

x = 4*72 = 288
