Question 800809: The measure of an angle is seventy-four times the measure of a supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = measure of the angle
180 - x = measure of supplement {supplementary angles add up to 180°}
x = 74(180 - x) {measure of the angle is 174 times the supplement}
x = 13,320 - 74x {used distributive property}
75x = 13,320 {added 74x to each side}
x = 177.6 {divided each side by 177.6}
the angle is 177.6°
the supplement is 2.4°
