The sum of the measures of two angels is 180. Three times the measure of one angle’s 24 less than the measure of the other angle. What is the measure of each rate?

Answer 1

......good morning dear......

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of two angles is 180 degrees. Three times the measure of one angle is 24 less than the measure of the other angle. What is the measure of each angle?

EQuATIONS:

x + y = 180

3x = y - 24

---------------

Rearrange:

x + y = 180

3x- y = -24

---------------

Add to get:

4x = 156

x = 39 (one of the angles)

Since x+y = 180, the other angle is 180-39 = 141
