Find m∠Y if m∠Y is six more than three times its supplement.
y = 6+3(180-y)
now just solve for y
thanks so much
To find the measure of angle Y, we need to set up an equation using the given information.
Let's denote the measure of angle Y as x.
According to the problem, the measure of angle Y (x) is six more than three times its supplement. The supplement of an angle is the angle that, when added to the given angle, will sum up to 180 degrees.
The supplement of angle Y is (180 - x).
Now, we can set up the equation:
x = 3(180 - x) + 6
Let's solve this equation to find the value of x, which represents the measure of angle Y.
