Q3(ii):
Form the pair of linear equations for the following problems and find their solution by substitution method. (ii) The larger of two supplementary angles exceeds the smaller by 18 degrees. Find them.
Solution :
Given:
1. Two angles are supplementary, meaning their sum is $180^\circ$.
2. The larger angle exceeds the smaller angle by $18^\circ$.
To Find:
The measures of the two angles.
Step 1: Defining Variables
Let the larger angle be $x$ degrees.
Let the smaller angle be $y$ degrees.
Step 2: Formulating the Equations
Based on the property of supplementary angles:
$x + y = 180$ --- (Equation 1)
Based on the condition that the larger angle exceeds the smaller by $18^\circ$:
$x = y + 18$ --- (Equation 2)
Step 3: Solving by Substitution Method
We already have $x$ expressed in terms of $y$ in Equation 2. We substitute this expression for $x$ into Equation 1.
Substitute $(y + 18)$ for $x$ in Equation 1:
$(y + 18) + y = 180$
[Combining like terms $y$ and $y$]:
$2y + 18 = 180$
[Subtracting 18 from both sides of the equation]:
$2y = 180 - 18$
$2y = 162$
[Dividing both sides by 2]:
$y = \frac{162}{2}$
$y = 81$
Step 4: Finding the value of $x$
Now, substitute the value of $y = 81$ back into Equation 2:
$x = y + 18$
$x = 81 + 18$
$x = 99$
Step 5: Verification
Check if the sum is $180^\circ$: $99^\circ + 81^\circ = 180^\circ$. (Correct)
Check if the difference is $18^\circ$: $99^\circ - 81^\circ = 18^\circ$. (Correct)
Final Answer: The larger angle is $99^\circ$ and the smaller angle is $81^\circ$.

I have been teaching for seven years. . I am teaching maths for cbse, icse,IB (international baccalaureate)' usa and uk (precalculus, AP calculus, algebra) acdamic students up to 12 grade and students preparing for SAT, OLYMPIAD, engineering and IIT ENTRANCE . Besides this I am also teaching Physics and Chemistry. I love teaching. I have excellent communication skills, a good understanding of concepts, ability to motivate students. Since every student has a different understanding level so for me its essential to know in what way students will understand and to explain them quickly. I also like to help in teaching someone who is financially weak to get an education. I can assure you to give 100% results. I will give you free demo classes and Pay me only when you will be completely satisfied with my teaching. I am btech from IIT Delhi Now I am full time in teaching
