The measure of one angle is fifteen less than 5 times the measure of another angle. The sum of the two angles is 150.determine the measure of each angle
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
x = the measure of one angle
5x - 15 = the measure of the other angle
The sum of the two angles is 150:
x + 5x - 15 = 150

........
x = 27.5
5*27.5 - 15 = 122.5
The two angles have the following measures: 27.5 and 122.5.
