Question 911764: the measure of an angle is x degrees. the measure of its supplementary angle is 4x+5 find the value of x

Supplementary angles are angles that add up to 180 degrees. In order to solve for x, we need to set the question up as an equation. So,

x + 4x + 5 = 180

Next, combine the x and the 4x:

5x + 5 = 180

Next, we need to isolate the x. To do this, we first subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
5x + 5 - 5 = 180 - 5

5x = 175

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 5:

x = 35

So, the value of x is 35 degrees
