Question

the measure of one angle is 20 degrees more than two-thirds the measure of its supplement what is the measure of the two angles?

Answer 1

let x = the supplement

then the other angle is 2/3 x + 20

so you know the angles are supplementary... which means they add to 180

so then you have

\[x + \frac{2}{3} x + 20 = 180\]

collect like terms and solve for x

Answer 2

x=96?

Answer 3

that correct, the supplement is 96

so the other angle is 2/3 * 96 + 20

or 180 - 96

hope it makes sense

Answer 4

definitely thank you so much!!!! i appreciate it!!!!!
