Question 688766: Two angles are supplementary. One angle is 15 degrees less than twice the other angle. Find the measure of each angle
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Supplementary angles have a sum of 180
x = 2y - 15
x + y = 180
...
2y - 15 + y = 180
3y - 15 = 180
3y = 180 + 15
3y = 195

...
x = 2(65) - 15 = 130 - 15
