Question 967358: An angle measures 60� less than the measure of a supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Supplementary angles: Angles that add up to 180 degrees. And your problem says:
An angle measures 60� less than the measure of a supplementary angle. If you call the other angle x, then:
x+x-60= 180
2x= 240
x= 120, and the other:
180-120= 60
