Question

Two angles are supplementary. The measure of the first angle is 36 degrees less than three times the second angle. What are the two measures?

Answer 1

`angle 1 =126^@`

`angle2=54^@`

Explanation:

supplementary `= 180^@`

`angle 1 =3x-36^@`

`angle 2 =x`

`3x-36^@+x=180^@`

`3x+x=180^@+36^@`

`4x=216^@`

`(cancel4x)/cancel4=216^@/4`

`x=54^@`

`3(54^@)-36^@`

`152^@-36^@`

`126^@`

`126^@+54^@=180^@`
