The answer is 150 degrees and you have two very good answerers showing you all the steps.

Supplementary angles= 180 degrees.
the smaller angle is x
the larger angle is 5x (this is because it is 5 times larger than the smaller one)
so, you would add x+5x=180
then, you would combine to get 6x=180
then divide the entire equation by 6 to get x alone. so it would be (6x/6)=(180/6)
then you would get x=30.
To get the larger angle, plug in for 5x.
5 times 30= 150.
and, if you check it. x=30 and 5x=150. they both add up to 180, so the equation would be correct.

Let the two angles be x & 5X
x+5x=180
6x=180
x=180/6=30
& 5x=150
Answer= two angles are 30deg & 150deg
