Hi

supplementary angles

Let x and (180°-x)represent the larger and smaller of the two respectively

Question states***

  (180°-x) = x/17

Solving for x

 17(180°-x) = x

   17*180° = 18x

     170° = x, the larger of the two supplementary angles. the smaller 10° 

 

CHECKING our Answer***

  10° = 170°/17
