Question

The measure of an angle is seventeen times the measure of a supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer 1

\[
x+\frac{x}{17}=180^\circ
\]

Answer 2

x+17x=180

x is your angle. 17 times x is the supplementary angle. Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.

18x=180
solve for x
