Question:
Find the angle which is five times its supplement.
Solution:
Let the measure of the required angle be $x$.
Then, measure of its supplement $=\left(180^{\circ}-x\right)$.
Therefore,
$x=\left(180^{\circ}-x\right) 5$
$\Rightarrow x=900^{\circ}-5 x$
$\Rightarrow 6 x=900^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow x=150^{\circ}$
Hence, the measure of the required angle is $150^{\circ}$.
