Question 323083: Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of one angle is seven less than twice the measure of the other angle. what are the measures of both the angles? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two angles form a linear pair.
x + y = 180
---------------------
The measure of one angle is seven less than twice the measure of the other angle.
x = 2y-7
---------------------
what are the measures of both the angles?
---
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y":
2y-7 + y = 180
3y = 187
y = 62 1/3
-------------
Since x+y = 180, x = 180-62 1/3 = 117 2/3
