Answer:

The larger angle is 143

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 180 (This is the meaning of supplementary. Two angles make up 180 degrees)

4x - 5 = y

x + (4x - 5) = 180            Remove the brackets.

x + 4x - 5 = 180

5x - 5 =  180                  Add 5 to both sides

5x - 5 +5 = 180 + 5       Combine

5x = 185                        Divide by 5

5x/5=185/5

x = 37

y = 4*37 - 5

y = 148 - 5

y = 143
