Algebra.Com's Answer #229003 by J2R2R(94)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! An angle and its supplementary will always add up to 180 degrees.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So if we call this angle x and its supplementary will therefore be 5x (as given), then adding both we get 6x which is 180 degrees.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6X = 180 degrees\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore x = 30 degrees.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We can see the supplement of 30 degrees is 150 degrees and 30 is 1/5th of 150. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
