The measure of a supplment of an angle is 12 more than twice the measure of the angle. Find the measures of the angle and its supplement
---------------------------------
Let the measure of the angle be "x"
Then its supplement is "180-x".
---------------------------------
Equation:
180-x = 2x+12)
3x = 168
x = 56 degrees (measure of the angle)
180-x = 124 degrees (measure of the supplement
