Answer: $6x=180$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : One of two supplementary angles is five times the other.

Let x be one of the angles ( in degrees) such that the other angles will be 5x.

We know that the supplementary angles are added up to 180 degrees.

Therefore, we have

$x+5x=180\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x=180$

Hence, the equation can be used to solve for the smallest angle= $6x=180$

It's 6x = 180 because angle one is 5x and angle two would just be x.
