The measures of the angles are given to be x and y. Since y is 65 degrees less than the measure of angle x then, it can also be expressed as x - 65. The sum of the angles x and y should be 180 degrees as they are supplementary angles,
x + y = 180
x + (x - 65) = 180
The value of x is 122.5 and that of y is 57.5. Therefore, the measures of the angles are 122.5 and 57.5.
In order to answer this, we will first need to combine like terms on each side. on the left, you can leave them alone. however on the right, we will need to combine 2 and 11. this is 13. the right side becomes 13-16y. after that, we can add 20y to both sides. that equals 15=13+4y now we can subtract 13 from both sides. 2=4y. then we divide by 4 on both sides to find y. y=.5
