Question 991573: THe measures of 2 angles are in the ratio 5:3 . The measure of the larger angle is 30 greater then half the difference of the angles. Find the measure of each angle.
I don't know how to start this problem, or the steps I would take to solve it, Could you help me? Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start by naming the two angles, A and B.
Then write down what you know mathematically.

Ratio of 5:3.

.
The larger angle is A since 3 A's make up 5 B's.
So,
Multiply by 2,
Multiply by 3.
Now substitute from above,
Now solve for B.
Then go back and solve for A.
