Question 79423
Two angles are supplementary. One angle measures 26degrees more than the other one. Find the measure of the two angles.
Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees
If the other angle is: x
The one angle is x+26
Problem to solve:
x+(x+26)=180
x+x+26=180
2x+26=180
2x+26-26=180-26
2x=154
2x/2=154/2
x=77
The other angle is: x=77 degrees
The one angle is: x+26=77+26=103 degrees
:
Sanity Check, do the two angles add to be 180 degrees?
77+103=180 yes.
