SOLUTION: Two angles are supplementary if their sum is 180. One angle measures two times the measure of a smaller angle. If x represents the smaller angle and these two angles are supplement

Question 539467: Two angles are supplementary if their sum is 180. One angle measures two times the measure of a smaller angle. If x represents the smaller angle and these two angles are supplementary, find the measure of each angle.

Two angles are supplementary if their sum is 180. One angle measures two times the measure of a smaller angle. If x represents the smaller angle and these two angles are supplementary, find the measure of each angle.

smaller = x
supplement = 180-x

Equation:
180-x = 2x
180 = 3x
x = 60 (smaller)
180-x = 120 (larger)
