Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.
So, one angle is x;
the other is 12 more than twice x.
Therefore, here is the eqn:
Now solve for x to find the value of one of the angles.
(((3x=168}}}
... this is one of the angles.
The other angle is 2x+12, right? So...
One angle is 56 degrees, the other is 124 degrees.
Check:
56+124=180
