Question 11959: The question in my books reads as follows; "In the following figure, the measure of angle 1 is 9 degrees less than half of the measure of angle 2. Determine the measure of angles 1 and 2." Using a protractor, this would be simple, but the question appears to be asking for an equation. How would I set this equation up to solve it?

In order to solve for the angles, you need to know something else about the angles. Are the angles supplementary? complementary? Is something else given in the figure given in the problem? Without that you can't solve it.

Let x = angle 2
(1/2)x - 9 = angle 1
