the measure of one of the angles in a certain linear pair is 9 more than double the measure of the other angle what is the mesure of each angle
----
Linear pairs are supplementary.
-----
Let one of the angles be "x":
The other is "2x+9".
---
Equation:
x + 2x+9 = 180
3x = 171
x = 57 degrees
2x + 9 = 123 degrees
