Well, let's set up an equation and solve for x (the smaller angle).
x+5x=180
6x=180
x=30
So, the little angle is 30 degrees, and the bigger angle is 5x, or 150 degrees.

a linear pair equal 180 degrees when their measures are added together you divide 180 by 6 which is 30 and 30 times 5 is 150 so your answer is 30 and150
