You can put this solution on YOUR website! ∠PQR and ∠ABC are supplementary angles and ∠PQR is nine times as large as ∠ABC. Determine the measure of each angle.
----------
Let angle PQR be "x"
Let angle ABC be "y"
----
Equations:
x + y = 180 degrees
x = 9y
-----
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y":
9y + y 180
10y = 180
y = 18 degrees
---
Solve for "x":
x + y = 180
x + 18 = 180
x = 162 degrees
