Definition
A linear pair is a pair of adjacent, supplementary angles. Adjacent means next to each other and supplementary means that the measures of the two angles add up to
equal 180 degrees. (http://study.com/academy/lesson/linear-pair-definition-theorem-example.html)

Let x be the measure of the given angle in degrees.
Then the other angle is 180� - x, as it is supplementary angle.

According to the condition,

- = 51.

Simplify and solve it:

2x - (180-x) = 51*2 = 102,

3x = 180 + 102 = 282,

x = = 94.

Answer. 94�.
