The measure of an angle is 8 degrees less than three times the measure of another angle. If the two angles are supplementary, what is the measure of the larger angle? Please show work
Let x and y be the angles X= 3•y-8 X+ y = 180 Substitute first relationship in second 3y-8+y=180 4y=180+8 Y =188/4= 47 degrees X= 180-47=133 degrees The measure of the large angle is 133 degrees
