Question 240700
A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect.



Linear pair angles add up to 180 degrees because they lie on a straight line.


Let x = smaller angle

Let 5x = bigger angle

x + 5x = 180

6x = 180

x = 180/6

x = 30

The bigger angle is 5 times 30 or 150 degrees.
