Two angles are supplementary. The larger angle is 154 degrees larger than the smaller angle. Find the measure of both angles.

Question

a.85 degrees; 95 degrees


b.77 degrees; 103 degrees


c.5 degrees; 85 degrees

 

 

d.167 degrees; 13 degrees

Answer 1

x + y = 180

x = 154 + y

Subtract y from each side

x - y = 154

Add the first equation to the second

2x = 334

x = 167

y  = 13
