Question 477013: two angles are supplementary. three times the measure of the smaller angle is five less than twice of the measure of the larger angle. find the measure of each angle. Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3(180 -x) + 5 = 2x
540 - 3x + 5 = 2x
545 = 5x
x = 109
the other angle is 71.
71 + 3 = 213 + 5 = 218 degrees.
2 * 109 = 218 degrees.
This does check.
