these are supplementary angles and they add up to 180
so, if one angle is %28x%2B105%29 degrees and the other is 6x degrees, then we have:
%28x%2B105%29%2B6x=180....solve for x
x%2B105%2B6x=180
7x=180-105
7x=75
x=75%2F7
x=10.714
angles are: %28x%2B105%29=10.7%2B105=115.714=highlight%28115.7%29 and 6x=6%2A10.147=64.284=highlight%2864.3%29 degrees
