If angles of measure (5y + 62°) and (22° + y) are supplementary,

Home » Aptitude » Plane Geometry » Question

If angles of measure (5y + 62°) and (22° + y) are supplementary, then value of y is :

As we know that Sum of two supplementary angles = 180°
∴ ( 5y + 62° ) + ( 22° + y ) = 180°
⇒ 6y + 84° = 180°
⇒ 6y = 180° – 84° = 96°

∴ y =	96	= 16°
