Question

Two angles form a linear pair. One angle is 5

more than four times the size of the other angle.
Find the measure of the largest angle.

Answer 1

The measure of the largest angle is 145°

Explanation:

Since the angles form a linear pair taking two angles that add to 180 and solving for x will give you the answer. the sentence "One angle is 5 more than four times the size of the other angle." your equation should look like this:

5 + 4x. the other angle uses the variable x. So the equation 5 + 4x + x = 180 should result in x = 35. That saying, the smaller angle is 35 and to find the larger angle either plug in x or subtract 180-35. both shoukd result in 145° which is the larger angle.
