Question 240700: If the measure of one angle of a linear pair is five times that of the other, then the measure of the larger angle is

A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect.

Linear pair angles add up to 180 degrees because they lie on a straight line.

Let x = smaller angle
Let 5x = bigger angle
x + 5x = 180
6x = 180
x = 180/6
x = 30
The bigger angle is 5 times 30 or 150 degrees.
