If we want to figure out the ages of Octavia and her brother we will need to check our information.
their ages add up to 39 and her brother is 7 years older than her 
first you will think of all numbers that equal 39; 1+38, 2+37, 3+36, 4+35, 5+34, 6+33, 7+32, 8+31, 9+30, 10+29, 11+28, 12+27, 13+26, 14+25, 15+24, 16+23, 17+22, 18+21,and 19+20
then  eliminate all the numbers that don't have a difference of 7 which will leave the following; the only numbers left are 16 and 23 

so that means that her brother is 23 and Octavia is 16

1. The larger of two supplementary angles is 15 more than twice the measure of the smaller angle. Find each angle measure.Help
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

55 degrees and 125 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary means that they add up to 180.

x + y = 180

Let's let x be the larger angle.

x = 15 + 2y

The above equation comes from the information given, that it's 15 more than twice the smaller angle.

Now let's use substitution.

x + y = 180

(15 + 2y) + y = 180

15 + 3y = 180

3y = 165

y = 55

The smaller angle is 55. Plug this back in to the first equation to get x.

x + y = 180

x + 55 = 180

x = 125

Now that you have both, test them again just to be sure that they fit the given conditions.
