Question

Linear angles where one angle is 6 less than the other angle what are the angles

Answer 1

93° and 87°

Explanation:

linear angles sum to 180°

let one angle be x then the other angle is x - 6

sum the 2 angles, equate to 180 and solve for x

x + x - 6 = 180

2x - 6 = 180 ( add 6 to both sides )

2x - 6 + 6 = 180 + 6 ( simplify both sides )

2x = 186 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x =
`(186)/(2)` = 93

and x - 6 = 93 - 6 = 87

the angles are 93° and 87°
