SUPPLENET ANGLES

Question

Find the supplement of an angle whose measure is (6x-5)degrees?

Answer 1

Supplementary angles add to 180 degrees.  Let θ be the angle supplementary to the angle whose measure is (6x - 5) degrees.

 

θ + 6x - 5 = 180

 

Solve for θ.

Answer 2

180 - (6x-5) is the measure of the supplement.
