Question

Two angles are supplementary if their sum is 180 degrees the larger angle measures 6 degrees more than twice the measure of the smaller angle if x represents the measure of the smaller angle and these two angles angles are supplementary find the measure of each angle

Answer 1

Let the smaller angle = x.

x + 2x + 6 = 180

3x = 174

x = 58

Answer 2

The sum of the measures of angle X and angle Y is 90. If the measure of angle X is 30 less than twice the measure of angle Y, what is the measure of angle X?
