Question

The angles are supplementary and the rar
os are supplementary and the larger is 40° less than three times the smaller angle, find
the angles.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the smaller angle be x

larger angle = 3x-40

supplementary angles measures 180

x+ 3x-40= 180

4x-40= 180

4x= 180+40

4x= 220

x= 220/4

x= 55

3x-40= 3(55)-40

165-40= 125

therefore the two angles are 55° and 125°
