Question

An angle measures 70° more than the measure of a supplementary angle. What Is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

`55^@" and "125^@`

Explanation:

`• " Supplementary angles sum to "180^@`

`"let one angle be "x`

`"then the other angle is "x+70`

`"summing the 2 angles gives"`

`x+x+70=180`

`2x+70=180`

`"subtract 70 from both sides"`

`2x=180-70=110`

`"divide both sides by 2"`

`x=110/2=55`

`"thus the angles are "55^@" and "55+70=125^@`
