An obtuse angle is formed by two adjacent angles with measures (x−5)° and (3x)° . If the resulting angle measure is 107° , what is the angle measure of each of the two unknown angles? Round to the nearest whole number.(1 point)

To solve this, we can set up the equation (x-5) + (3x) = 107, since the sum of the two angles equal the resulting angle.

Simplifying this equation, we have 4x - 5 = 107.

Adding 5 to both sides, we have 4x = 112.

Dividing both sides by 4, we have x = 28.

Substituting this value back into the original equation, we have (28-5) + (3*28) = 107.

Simplifying, we have 23 + 84 = 107.

Therefore, the two unknown angles have measures of 23° and 84°.
