We all know supplementary angles are angles that add to 180 degrees.
For that reason, we can make an equation ---------> eqn 1
It shows angle B is a supplemantary of angle A, and to satisfy the other condition 1 being more than it's measure angle.
Putting that into eqn, , right? ------> eqn 2
We multiply by because it's more.
.
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1 we have

--------->

The other angle as per eqn 1: ---->
To check:
As it stated the supplement angle more than it's measurement,go back eqn 2,

Also, in eqn 1
------------>

Thank you,
