Question 341737: an angles measure is 5 degrees less than 3 times the measure of its supplement. whats is the measure of the angle and its supplement Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x=3y-5
x+y=180
(3y-5)+y=180
4y=180+5
4y=185
y=185/4
y=46.25 degrees is the smaler angle.
x=3*46.25-5
x=138.75-5=133.75 degrees for the larger angle.
Proof:
46.25+133.75=180
180=180
