Solve the problem by multiplying first. The sum of two angles is 180°. The difference between three times the larger angle and five times the smaller angle is 252°. The system of equations braceleftze x + y = 180 3x - 5y = 252 models this situation, where x is the measure of the larger angle and y is the measure of the smaller angle. What is the measure of each angle? The measure of the larger angle is ° and the measure of the smaller angle is °.

36°,144°

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=180

5x+5y=900

3x-5y=252

add

8x=1152

x=144

y=180-144=36
