Let's call the measure of the first angle "x" and the measure of the second angle "3x-5".
According to the problem, the sum of these two angles results in an obtuse angle measuring 107 degrees. Thus, we can set up the equation:
x + (3x-5) = 107.
Solving this equation will give us the value of "x".
Combining like terms, we get:
4x - 5 = 107.
Adding 5 to both sides:
4x = 112.
Finally, dividing both sides by 4, we find that x = 28.
Therefore, the measure of the first angle is 28 degrees, and the measure of the second angle is 3(28) - 5 = 79 degrees.
An obtuse angles formed by two adjacent angles with measures X subtract five and 3X if the resulting angle measure is 107 what is the angle measure of each of the two unknown Ingles round to the nearest whole number?

The two adjacent angles are on a straight line. One angle has a measure of 5X subtract 28 and the other has an angle has a measure of 8X what is the measure of the second
If the two adjacent angles are on a straight line, their sum should equal 180 degrees.
Let's call the measure of the first angle "5X - 28" and the measure of the second angle "8X".
So, we can set up the equation:
(5X - 28) + 8X = 180.
Combining like terms, we get:
13X - 28 = 180.
Adding 28 to both sides:
13X = 208.
Finally, dividing both sides by 13, we find that X = 16.
Thus, the measure of the second angle is:
8X = 8 * 16 = 128 degrees.
Let's call the measure of the first angle "5X - 28" and the measure of the second angle "8X".
So, we can set up the equation:
(5X - 28) + 8X = 180.
Combining like terms, we get:
13X - 28 = 180.
Adding 28 to both sides:
13X = 208.
Finally, dividing both sides by 13, we find that X = 16.
Thus, the measure of the second angle is:
8X = 8 * 16 = 128 degrees.
