Question

The sum of the angles x and y are 127 degrees. If the measure of x is 34 more than half the measure of y, what is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

the sum of the angles x and y are 127 degrees.
X + Y = 127

The measure of x is 34 more than half the y.
X = (y/2) + 34
X = (y + 68) / 2

X = 127 - Y

(Y + 68)/2 = 127-Y
254-2Y = Y+68
186 = 3Y
Y = 62
X = 127-62 = 65

The measure of two angles are 62 and 65
