Determine which angle is such that its supplement is fourteen times the angle itself.

Step 1. Supplementary angles means two angles add up to 180 degrees.

Step 2. Let x be one angle and 14x be the supplementary angle.

Step 3. Then x+14x=180 degrees or 15x=180 or x=12 degrees. Also 14x=168.

Step 4. The supplementary angles are 14 degrees and 168 degrees.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
