In a parallelogram the opposite angles have the same measures .. 5x-42. each of the two larger angles in a parallelogram is 42 degrees less than 5 times the smaller angles. find the measure of each angle
--------------
Comment:: Sum of the angles is 360 degrees
-----
Let smaller angles each be "x"::
Then each of the larger angles is 5x-42 degrees
-------------------------
Equation::
x + x + 5x-42 + 5x-42 = 360 degrees
12x - 84 = 360
12x = 444
x = 37 degrees (measure of each of the smaller angles)
5x-42 = 143 degrees (measure of each of the larger angles)
================
