Hi
five times the measure of an angle is 48 more than the measure of its supplement
Let x aand (5x+48°) represent the two angles
Sum of Supplementary angles = 180°
Question states***
x + (5x + 48°) = 180°
Solving for x
6x + 48° = 180°
6x = 132°
x = 22°, the angle in question (It's supplememt = 158°)
