Let the measure of the angle be A

Then measure of its supplement is (180 - A)

Since the angle measures twelve degrees more than half the measure of its supplement, then we'll have: A+=+12+%2B+%281%2F2%29180+-+A

Multiply equation by LCD, 2 to get: 2A = 24 + 180 - A

3A = 204

A, or angle = 204%2F3 or highlight_green%2868%5Eo%29
