Supplementary angles are two angles that have a sum of 180°
θ = your angle
The supplementary angle is x as stated in the problem so:
θ + x = 180°
x = 180°- θ
The measure of the angle is two times greater than its supplement means:
θ = 2 x
Replace this value in equation:
x = 180°- θ
x = 180°- 2 x
Add 2 x to both sides
3 x = 180°
x = 180° / 3 = 60°
θ = your angle

OR
θ = your angle
x = suplrment
θ = 2 x
θ + x = 180°
2 x + x = 180°
3 x = 180°
x = 180° / 3 = 60°
θ = your angle
x = suplrment
θ = 2 x
θ + x = 180°
2 x + x = 180°
3 x = 180°
x = 180° / 3 = 60°
