Two angles are supplementary. The larger angle is 15 more than 10 times the smaller angle. FInd the measure of each angle.

garik1379 [7]

$\text{Larger angle} =x\\\\\text{Smaller angle} =y\\ \\\text{According to the condition,}\\\\x=10y+15\\\\\text{The two angles are supplementary, so their sum is}~ 180^{\circ} \\\\x+y=180\\\\\implies 10y+15 +y = 180\\\\\implies 11y = 180-15\\\\\implies 11y=165\\\\\implies y = \dfrac{165}{11}\\\\\implies y = 15\\\\\text{So,} ~x =180-15 = 165\\\\\text{Hence the larger angle is}~ 165^{\circ}~ \text{and the smaller angle is }15^{\circ}$
