Question

two angles are supplementary. the measure of one angel is 58 degrees greater than the measure of the other angle. find the measures of the angles. So i just got put into honors math. can someone explain to me what this even means?

Answer 1

supplementry means 180

let the two angles x and y

x = 58+y


58+y + y = 180

2y = 180-58

2y =122

y = 122/2 = 61

Answer 2

x = 58 + 61 = 119

Answer 3

so...the angles are 61 and 119

Answer 4

thank you. i am wondering how you got 119. please explain.

Answer 5

x = 58+y

Answer 6

we have the value of y

Answer 7

oh thank you!
