Question 487226: The measure of one angle is six less than one-half the measure of another. If the angles are supplements, what is the measure of each angle?

2x + x - 6 = 180
3x = 186
x = 62 - 6 = 56 degrees, the first angle.
2x = 124 degrees, the second angle.
56 degrees + 124 degrees = 180 degrees, this does check.
