Question

An angle is six less than five times it’s supplement. Find the measure of each angle.

Answer 1

Angle: 151

Supplement: 29

Explanation:

Since a supplementary angle is 180 degrees that means that the 2 numbers will add up to 180 degrees.

Lets call the supplement of the angle x and the other angle 5x-6 since 5 times the supplement minus 6:

x+(5x-6)=180

Simplify:

6x-6=180

6x=174

x=29

y=151
