Question

Two angles are supplementary. The measure of one angle is 10 less than twice the measure of the other angle. Find the measures of the angles.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Supplementry means which add up to 180°

Now, let's take one of them as x

And the other as x - 10

Now let's add : x + (x - 10) = 180°

2x - 10 = 180°

2x = 180 + 10

2x = 190

x = 190/2

x = 95

X = 95

x - 10 = 95 - 10

So, = 85

The 2 numbers are 95, and 85

Lets check!

95 + 85 = 180!

So therefore they are supplementry so it's right!
