Question 767880: one angle in a linear pair measures three times as much as the other.what is the measure of each angle?
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = one angle
3x = other angle
x + 3x = 180 {a linear pair adds up to 180°}
4x = 180 {combined like terms}
x = 45° {divided each side by 4}
3x = 135° {substituted 45, in for x, into 3x}
the two angles are 45° and 135°
