Use an algebraic equation to find the measures of the two angles described below. begin by letting x represent the degree measur
e of the angle's supplement. the measure of the angle is eight times greater than its supplement. what is the measure of the supplement?
1 answer:
Two angles are said to be supplement when their measure add up to 180 degrees.
Assume that the angle we are looking for is a and its supplement is s (I used s instead of x).
a + s = 180
a = 180 - s ......> equation I
We know that <span>the measure of the angle is eight times greater than its supplement.
This means that:
a = 8s ......> equation II
Substitute by equation II in equation I to get s as follows:
180 - s = 8s
180 = 9s
s = 20 degrees
Substitute in equation I to get the measure of the angle as follows:
a = 180 - s = 180 - 20 = 160 degrees
Based on these calculations:
The measure of the angle is 160 degrees
The measure of its supplement is 20 degrees</span>

remember
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
so
25x^4=(5x^2)^2
16y^2=(4y^2)
(5x^2)^2-(4y)^2=(5x^2-4y)(5x+4y)
cannot be factored further
