Algebra.Com's Answer #6664 by bam878s(77)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! we know supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees \n" ); document.write( "so for angle 1 (a1) and angle 2 (a2) \n" ); document.write( "we have a1+a2=180 and a1=4a2-37 \n" ); document.write( "sub a1 in the first equation to get \n" ); document.write( "4a2-37+a2=180 \n" ); document.write( "add 37 to both sides to get \n" ); document.write( "5a2=217 \n" ); document.write( "divide both sides bt 5 \n" ); document.write( "a2=43.4 \n" ); document.write( "now sub this back in the first equation \n" ); document.write( "a1=180-a2=180-43.4=136.6 \n" ); document.write( " |
