If two angles are supplementary, then they add up to 180.

Angle 1 = twenty less than four times the other angle

Angle 2 = the other angle

Angle 2 = 1x

Angle 1 = 4x - 20

Next, we can add up angles 1 and 2 and set the sum equal to 180.

x + 4x - 20 = 180

5x - 20 = 180

5x = 200

x = 40

Now that we know x, we can find the values of our angles.

Angle 1 = 4(40) - 20 = 160 - 20 = 140 degrees

Angle 2 = 40 degrees

Hope this helps!! :)
