The measure of the supplement of an angle is 15 more then four times the measure of the angle. Find the measure of the angle and the supplement.
.
Let x = the angle
then
180-x = supplement
.
the equation is then:
180-x = 4x+15
180 = 5x+15
165 = 5x
33 degrees = x (angle)
.
supplement:
180-x = 180-33 = 147 degrees
