Question

Measure of <1 is 5 less than 4 times tha measure of <2. if <1 & <2 form a linear pair, wha r their measures?

Answer 1

If I understand this correctly, you are saying that angle1 is 5 less than 4 times angle2. And forming a linear pair means that ANgle1 + Angle2 is 180 degrees. So:

Angle1 = 4*Angle2 - 5

Angle1 + Angle2 = 180 = 4*Angle2 - 5 + Angle2 = 5*Angle2 - 5

36 = Angle2 - 1

Angle2 = 37

Angle1 = 4*37 - 5 =  143
