the questions says: The measure of an angle's supplement is 24 less than twice the measure of the angle. Find the measure of the angle and it's supplement.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The key hinges on knowing the definition of \"supplement\".
\n" ); document.write( "Two angles are supplementary if the sum of the two angles equals 180.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = measure of the angle
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "180-x = supplement of the angle
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Then from: \"The measure of an angle's supplement is 24 less than twice the measure of the angle\" we get
\n" ); document.write( "180-x = 2x-24
\n" ); document.write( "180 = 3x-24
\n" ); document.write( "204 = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "68 degrees = x
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "supplement then is
\n" ); document.write( "180-68 = 112 degrees\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
