R / (r + g) = 1/5 === 5r = r + g === 4r = g 

<span>(r + 5) / (r + 5 + g) = 1/3 --- 3r + 15 = r + 5 + g </span>
<span>2r = g - 10 ... 4r = 2g - 20 </span>
<span>g = 2g - 20 </span>
<span>g = 20 .... 4r = g ... r = 5 </span>

<span>20 green and 5 red </span>

The angle Johnny holds his pen on paper creates a linear pair. The measure of one angle is 13x + 7. The

<h3>The value of x is 4.10</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

The angle Johnny holds his pen on paper creates a linear pair

Angles in a linear pair are supplementary angles

Two angles are supplementary, when they add up to 180 degrees

The measure of one angle is 13x + 7

The  measure of the second angle is one less than twice the first angle

Therefore,

Measure of second angle = twice the first angle - 1

Measure of second angle = 2(13x + 7) - 1

Measure of second angle = 26x + 14 - 1

Measure of second angle = 26x + 13

Therefore,

Measure of first angle + measure of second angle = 180

13x + 7 + 26x + 13 = 180

39x + 20 = 180

39x = 180 - 20

39x = 160

x = 4.1

Thus value of x is 4.10
