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( "Let x = \"the angle\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then
\n" ); document.write( "(180-x) = it's supplement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for what it says:
\n" ); document.write( "(180-x) - 24 = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "180 - 24 = 2x + x
\n" ); document.write( "156 = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"156%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = 52 is the angle
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "180 - 52 = 128 is the supplement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in the given statement:
\n" ); document.write( "128 - 24 = 2(52) \n" ); document.write( "
