Question 343341: if two angles are supplementary and the larger angle is 20 degrees less then three times the the smaller angle find the measure of each angle

let smaller angle be x
the supplement will be 180-x
..
180-x =3x-20
3x+x=180+20
4x =200
/4
x= 50 deg.
the other angle = 180-x
=180-50 = 130 deg.
