Question

The measure of an angle's supplement is 24 less than twice the measure of the angle. Find the measure of the angle and its supplement

Answer 1

this would be an way to solve it 24-x2

Answer 2

The sum of supplement angles = 180°

Let one angle be x.

Thus, the other angle = 2x -24

x + 2x - 24 = 180

3x = 204

x = 68

2x -24 = 136 - 24 = 112

Thus, the angles are 68° and 112°
