Answer:
Let's begin by writing the mathematical equations given by the sentences.
Let X = smaller number
Let Y = larger number
The first sentence tells us
X + Y = 38
The second sentence tells us
X = Y/3 + 6
Since you weren't given a specific method to use, you can use either the substitution method or the elimination(addition) method, whichever works best for you.
Since the 2nd equation has the X isolated, I'm going to isolate the X in the first equation,
X = 38 - Y
Since both equations are equal to X, I can set them equal to one another and solve for Y.
Y/3 + 6 = 38 - Y
Y + 18 = 114 - 3Y
4Y = 96
Y = 24
Then use either of the two original equations to solve for X
X + Y = 38
X + 24 = 38
X = 14

Answers:
- angle1 = 156 degrees
- angle2 = 24 degrees
=======================================================
Explanation:
The two angles form a straight line, which is 180 degrees
Add up the angle expressions and set the sum equal to 180.
(angle1) + (angle2) = 180
(4x) + (x-15) = 180
(4x+x)-15 = 180
5x-15 = 180
5x = 180+15
5x = 195
x = 195/5
x = 39
We use that x value to find each missing angle
- angle1 = 4x = 4*39 = 156 degrees
- angle2 = x-15 = 39-15 = 24 degrees
Then notice how angle1+angle2 = 156+24 = 180 to verify the answer.
Side note: Angles that add to 180 are considered supplementary.
