: Solve the problem. Two angles are supplementary, and one is 5 degrees more than six times the other. Find the larger angle. This question is from textbook Introductory Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! supplementary angles mean the angles add up to 180..lets call the angles a and b
:
a+b=180...eq 1
a=6b+5....eq 2
:
plug in a's value from eq 1 into eq 2.
:
(6b+5)+b=180------->add b terms and subtract 5 from each side.
:
7b=175
: small angle large angle
