Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a problem where two angles are given in terms of algebraic expressions. The problem asks to find the measure of each marked angle, where the two expressions for the angles are:
These two angles seem to form a linear pair, which means they are supplementary (i.e., they add up to ).
Step-by-step solution:
Since the angles are supplementary, we can set up the equation:
Now, simplify the equation:
Next, subtract 5 from both sides:
Now, divide both sides by 25:
Finding the angles:
-
For the larger angle: :
-
For the smaller angle: :
Thus, the measures of the angles are:
- The larger angle measures .
- The smaller angle measures .

Here are 5 related questions for practice:
- What are supplementary angles?
- What are complementary angles, and how are they different from supplementary angles?
- How do you find the value of a variable when given the sum of angles?
- Can angles that are not on a straight line be supplementary?
- How would the equation change if the angles were complementary instead of supplementary?
Tip: Always double-check whether the angles are complementary (add to 90°) or supplementary (add to 180°) when solving for unknown variables.
