Question

Two angles are supplementary. The measure of the larger angle is 36 degrees more than twice the measure of the smaller angle. What is the measure of the larger angle?

Answer 1

let x equal the measure of the smaller angle
let 2x + 36 equal the measure of the larger angle

2x + 36 + x = 180
3x = 144
x = 48

now plug that in to the equation of the larger angle measure

2(48) + 36 = 132

the answer is 132!!
