QuestionFind the supplementary angle if one angle is (17x+5)(17x+5) degrees. Their sum is 180180^{\circ}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given angle is (17x+5)(17x+5) degrees. Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is 180180^{\circ}

STEP 2

We know that the sum of supplementary angles is 180180^{\circ}. So, we can set up the equation(17x+5)+Supplementaryangle=180(17x+5) + Supplementary\, angle =180^{\circ}

STEP 3

We can rearrange the equation to find the measure of the supplementary angle.
Supplementaryangle=180(17x+5)Supplementary\, angle =180^{\circ} - (17x+5)

STEP 4

Now, distribute the negative sign to both terms inside the parentheses.
Supplementaryangle=18017xSupplementary\, angle =180^{\circ} -17x -

STEP 5

Combine like terms.
Supplementaryangle=17517xSupplementary\, angle =175^{\circ} -17xSo, the measure of the supplementary angle is (17517x)(175 -17x) degrees.
