Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of one angle is 5 less than 2/3 the measure of the other angle

Answer 1

Two angles form a linear pair means they are supplementary and the measures of their angles add up to 180 degrees

other angle = x

one angle = 2x/3 - 5

sum is 180

x + 2x/3 -5 = 180

3x + 2x - 15 = 540

5x = 555

x = 111

other angle = 111

one angle = 2(111)/3 - 5 = 69
