Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180°.
STEP 1:
find the value of x
x= smaller angle
10x + 48= larger angle
Add the two angles above to equal 180.
x + (10x + 48)= 180
combine like terms
11x + 48= 180
subtract 48 from both sides
11x= 132
divide both sides by 11
x= 12° smaller angle
STEP 2:
find the value of the second angle
=10x + 48
=10(12) + 48
=120 + 48
=168° larger angle
CHECK:
12° + 168°= 180°
180°= 180°
ANSWER: The smaller angle is 12° and the larger angle is 168°.
Hope this helps! :)
