Conrad drew 2 angles. Three times the measure of angle 1 is 30° more than 5 times the measure of angle 2. The sum of twice the measure of angle 1 and twice the measure of angle 2 is 180°. Find the measure of each angle.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x = measure of angle 1

    Let y = measure of angle 2

    This is solving a system of equations

    3x=30 + 5y which can also be written

    3x-5y=30, and

    2x+2y=180

    There are a few ways to solve this, like solving for x in one of the equations and plugging it in for x in the other equation, but here is another way:

    2 (3x-5y) = 2*30

    3 (2x+2y) = 3*180

    6x-10y=60

    6x+6y=540, and now subtract to get rid of x

    0-16y=-480

    Y=30

    Plug it back in to either equation and you get x=60
