The measure of angle 1 is five less than four times the measure of angle 2. If angle 1 and angle 2 form a linear pair, what are their measurements?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = measure of angle 2
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "4x-5 = measure of angle 1
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If the angles are linear, this means the sum of the two angles is 180 degs:
\n" ); document.write( "x + (4x-5) = 180
\n" ); document.write( "5x-5 = 180
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 185
\n" ); document.write( "x = 37 degrees (angle 2)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "angle 1:
\n" ); document.write( "4x-5 = 4(37)-5 = 148-5 = 143 degrees (angle 1) \n" ); document.write( "
