Joaquin Nixon · Answer 1

One angle is 150 and the other is 30.

this is because the equation worked out would be 5x + x = 180, or 6x = 180

you divide 180 by 6 to get 30, then multiply it by five, which is 150. the remaining amount is 30.

so, essentially, 5 (30) + 30 = 180.

Beau Benton · Answer 2

5 (30) + 30=180.

that is the correct answer b/c 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30+30=180
