document.write( "Question 704689: \"Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of one angles is 8 times the measure of the other angle. Find the measure of each angle.\" I have a finals tomorrow and I'm really stuck here =c. I did the substitution method and it didn't seem to work for me since I was really confused. I also have other questions but ill get into that if I can with my teacher, hopefully. Thanks very much! \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #434217 by mananth(16946)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! let one angle be x \n" ); document.write( "the other is 8x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+8x = 180 degrees (linear pair)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "9x=180\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "/9 \n" ); document.write( "x= 20\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "one angle is 20\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the other is 8*x \n" ); document.write( "8*20=160\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The angles are 20 & 160 \n" ); document.write( " |
