Question 915045: Hello! I have a problem that I'm not sure of:
The measure of angle D is 5 times the measure of angle E. The two angles are supplementary. Find the measure of each angle.
Now, I know that supplementary means that they equal 180, so I've drawn a visual on my paper to help me, but I'm not sure how to get started on this, and the online textbook hasn't helped any.
Thank you for your time!
