Algebra.Com's Answer #373334 by Schaman_Dempster(26)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the two angles be x and y such that x>y.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since they are supplementary angles, therefore x + y = 180 ---------(1)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, x = y + 46 ------------ (2)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plugging the value of x from equation (2) into equation (1), we get:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y + 46 + y = 180 \n" ); document.write( "2y + 46 =180 \n" ); document.write( "2y = 180 - 46 \n" ); document.write( "2y = 134 \n" ); document.write( "y = 67\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plugging back the value of y in equation (1), \n" ); document.write( "x = 67 + 46 \n" ); document.write( "x = 113\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence, the two angles are 67' and 113'\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps~! \n" ); document.write( " |
