SOLUTION: angle x and y are supplementary. if angle y is 32 degrees more than angle x, find angle y

Question 702282: angle x and y are supplementary. if angle y is 32 degrees more than angle x, find angle y

Answer by neatmath(302) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Supplementary angles must add up to 180 degrees.

So we have:

Eq 1: given

Eq 2: given

Let's substitute the value for y in Eq 2 into Eq 1:

Let's substitute this value for x into Eq 2:

So angle x is 74 degrees, and angle y is 106 degrees.

Check it, it works!

I hope this helps! Keep practicing! :)
