.
If two angles are supplementary, their angles add up to 180.
If two angles are complementary, their angles add up to 90.
.
Let x = measure of the angle
.
Supplement = 180-x
Complement = 90-x
.
Finally, from: "The supplement of an angle measures 37 degrees more than twice its complement." we get:
180-x = 2(90-x) + 37
180-x = 180-2x + 37
-x = -2x + 37
x = 37 degrees
