: The measure of the supplement of an angle is 10 degrees more than four times the measure of the angle. Find the measures of both angles. Draw and label a picture representing this situation.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = \"the angle\"
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(180-x) = the supplement of the angle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "It says,\": The measure of the supplement of an angle is 10 degrees more than four times the measure of the angle.\", write an equation for this:
\n" ); document.write( "180 - x = 4x + 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "180 - 10 = 4x + x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 170
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"170%2F5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = 34 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "180 - 34 = 146 degrees is the supplement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "draw and label a picture representing this situation.
