Question

PLEASEE HELPP!!!

An angle measures 38° more than the measure of a supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle? you need to answers

Answer 1

supplementary means 180 degrees (2 angles sum to total 180)

Answer 2

Two angles are supplementary if they add up to 180.

If you have 2 angles adding to 180 and the angles are called x and y, we can say:

x + y = 180

We can say that:

y = 180 - x

We also know that:

y = x - 38

So, we can set:

x - 38 = 180 - x

And now you just have to solve for "x"

Answer 3

ok hold on 1 second

Answer 4

Once you get x, you have 180 - x for the other angle.

Answer 5

ok i think i did something wrong i got a decimal

Answer 6

ya i have no clue how to get x
it keeps getting up to a decimal

Answer 7

ok i got 109

Answer 8

I think you need to look at this like this...
x + y = 180
x = y + 38

Answer 9

You have to get the "x" terms on one side and then get the numerics on the other. First step: add "x" to both sides.

Second step: add 38 to both sides.

Third step: divide both sides by the coefficient on "x".

Fourth step: the other angle is 180 - x.

Answer 10

Yes!

Answer 11

And now, you get 180 - 109 for the other.

Answer 12

substitue and get
y + 38 + y = 180
2 y + 38 = 180
2y = 180-38
2y = 142
y = 71

thus leaving
x + y = 180
x + 71 = 180
x = 180-71
x = 109

Answer 13

Now you have both angles and you're done.

Answer 14

71 ya!!!! THANKS SO MUCH YOU HAVE BEEN VERY HELPFUL!!
