I don't know if it was 5 degrees more or less than the larger angle so I worked it out both ways.

==================================================================================

x + 4x + 5 = 180 degrees

5x = 175 degrees.

x = 35 degrees.

35(4) = 140 + 5 = 145 degrees.

145 + 35 = 180 degrees

This does check.

============================================

x + 4x - 5 = 180 degrees

5x = 185 degrees

x = 37 degrees.

37(4) = 148 - 5 = 143 degress.

143 + 37 = 180 degrees.

This does check also.
