Question

Suppose an angle has a measure of x degrees. What is the measure of the angle that is five times as large as the first angle? If the two angles are supplementary, what equation can you write using the measures of the angles? What are the measures of the two angles?

Answer 1

Explanation:

x+5x=180

6x=180

x=30

and 5x=150

Answer 2

Solution given:

let angle be a and 5x

since sum of two angles are supplement

so

equation becomes

a+5a=180

now

solving it

6a=180

a=180/6

a=30

and 5a=5×30=150

required angles are 50 and 130.
