One of two supplementary angles is five times the other. Find the angles. (Recall that supplementary angles are angles whose sum is 180 degrees.)

Which equation can be used to solve for the smallest angle?

5x = 180
6x = 180
2x + 5 = 180

x the original angle 
and 5x the original angle|dw:1380808998425:dw|

can you see it now??

anonymous · Answer

yes i c what u r doing.... but what is the equation????

zpupster · Answer

don't you think that you should add the 2 angles to get 180

anonymous · Answer

yes, but my multiply choice doesn't gave me    5x+2=180

zpupster · Answer

x+5x = 180 or
6x = 180

take the coefficients of x and add them

1+5=6
