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

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use the given hint

What's the given hint?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

let the smallest angle be \(x\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

given hint : `(Recall that supplementary angles are angles whose sum is 180 degrees.)`

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

`One of two supplementary angles is five times the other.` so the largest angle will be \(5x\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large x+5x=180\]
