Question

2. Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures have the sum of 180º. Angles X and Y

are supplementary. The measure of angle X is 24° greater than the measure of angle Y. Find
the measures of both angles.

y equals a variable example is

y=1

x=1 +24

180-24 = 156

156÷2= 78

y =78

x= 78+24
