Question 494084: an angle's measure is 5 degrees than 3 times the measure of its supplement. Find the measure of the angle and its supplement. Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3x + 5 + x 180
4x = 175
x = 43.7 degrees, the smaller angle.
3(43.7) = 131.1
131.1 + 5 + 43.7 = 179.8 degrees, approx. 180 degrees.
