Question 637018: The measure of the supplement of an angle is 10 more than thrice the measure of the angle. Find the measure of each. Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! X+Y=180 DEGREES.
X=3Y+10
3Y+10+Y=180
4Y=180-10
4Y=170
Y=170/4
Y=42.5 DEGREES ANS.
X=3*42.5+10
X=127.5+10
X=137.5 ANS.
PROOF:
137.5+42.5=180
180=180
