Algebra.Com's Answer #192797 by mananth(16946)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2 angles are supplementary if their sum is 180 degres. The larger angle measures eight degree more than three times the measure of a smaller angle. If x represents the measure of the smaller angle and these two angles are supplementary, find the measure of each angle.
