Question 682938: 1.(The measure of an angle is 5 times the measure of its supplement. Find the original angle.) Please help me on this question? Thank You!
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = original angle
y = supplement
...
Supplementary angles have a sum of 180
...
x + y = 180
x = 5y
...
5y + y = 180
6y = 180
y = 30
...
x = 5(30) = 150
...
The original angle is 150 degrees
