X+(X-30)=180
2X=180+30
2X=210
X=210/2
X=105 DEGREES FOR THE LARGER ANGLE.
105-30=75 DEGREES FOR THE SMALLER ANGLE.
PROOF:
105+75=180
180=180

the supplement of an angle is 30 degrees less than twice the measure of the angle itself. find the angle and its supplement.

Let the angle be A, then its supplement = (180 - A)

Now, since the supplement is 30 degrees less than twice the measure of the angle itself, then we'll have:

180 - A = 2A - 30

-3A = - 210

A, or the angle = =

Its supplement, (180 - A) = 180 - 70 =
