Question 174299
One of two supplementary angles is 8 more than the other. Find the measure of the larger angle.

==========================================================

Since the angles are supplementary, then they add up to 180.

Let x = smaller angle

Let x + 8 = larger angle

We now have this:

x + x + 8 = 180

2x + 8 = 180

2x = 180 - 8

2x = 172

x = 172/2

x = 86

The larger angle is x + 8 and I just x to be 86.

So, the larger angle is 86 + 8 = 94
