Problema Solution
the measure of one angle in a supplementary pair is 10 more than twice the other.find the two angles
Answer provided by our tutors
Two Angles are Supplementary if they add up to 180 degrees.
let 'x' and 'y' be the supplementary pair then
x + y = 180
the measure of one angle in a supplementary pair is 10 more than twice the other
x = 10 + 2y
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 180
x = 10 + 2y
we find
x = 123.33
y = 56.67
