The measure of 2 angles are in the ratio of 4:5.
1st angle : 4x
2nd angle : 5x
------------------------
THe larger of the two angle is 60 less than twice the smaller angle.
Equation:
5x = 2(4x)-60
---------------------
Find the measure of each angle.
5x = 8x -60
3x = 60
x = 20
---
1st angle: 4x = 80
2nd angle: 5x = 100
