SOLUTION: If X and Y are supplementary angles, are they necessarily a linear pair? Why or why not?
I know supplementary means it = 180 degrees, but i'm not sure about linear pairs.

In order to be supplementary, the measures of two angles must sum to 
. They need not be adjacent.
In order to be a linear pair, two angles must be supplementary AND adjacent.
