Question 680514: Two angles are supplementary. The larger angle is 55° more than four times the measure of the smaller angle. Find the measure of the two angles. (Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is 180°.)
° (smaller angle)?
° (larger angle)? Answer by unlockmath(1688) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
Let x be the smaller angle.
x+(4x+55)=180
Combine like terms and subtract 55:
5x=125
Divide by 5:
x=25 degrees
Make sense?
