Answer: a = 150
b = 30
Remember: supplementary angles always add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, using this information, you can easily form your equation.
Form your equation. Since a is five times b, a = 5b.
5b + b = 180 Combine like terms
6b = 180 Divide by 6 to both sides
b = 30 Answer!
Substitute (30) for b in a = 5b to find a.
a = 5(30) Simplify
a = 150 Answer!
