Answer: The larger angle is about 156.84 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:
x = smaller angle
6x + 18 = larger angle

Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.

x + 6x + 18 = 180
7x + 18 = 180
7x = 162
x = 23.1429
x = 23.14 degrees

X can be substituted into the other expression to find the larger angle.

6(23.14) + 18
138.84 + 18
156.84 degrees

To check, add the two angles to make sure the sum is 180 degrees.

23.14 + 156.84 = 180
179.98 = 180
^^^ the numbers don’t exactly match because of the rounding I did. the solutions are correct
