Question

Two angles are a linear pair. The measure of one angle is 10 more than 25% of the other. Find the measures of both angles.

Answer 1

Answer:

Linear pairs add up to 180°

1st angle = x

2nd angle = x+24 (24° more than the first)

The equation would be

1st angle + second angle = 180 Subbing in the expressions we came up with:

x+x+24 = 180
