Question 507527: use an algebraic equation to find the measures of the two angles described below. Begin by letting x represent the degree measure of the angle's supplement
The measure of the angle is thirty- five times greater than its supplement Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a = an angle
x = its supplement
.
a + x = 180 by the definition of the supplement
so
a = 180-x
x = 180-a
.
a = 35x
.
substitute
.
35x + x = 180
36x = 180
x = 5
.
a = 35*5
a = 175
.
Done.
