You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\"Two angles are supplementary\" means that two angles, say 'x' and 'y', add up to 180 degrees. So $\"x%2By=180\"$ . Basically, these two angles form a straight line.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In addition, since \"one angle measures 45° less than twice the measure of its supplement\", we know that $\"y=2x-45\"$ . Once you have the second equation, plug it into the first to get $\"x%2B2x-45=180\"$ . I'll let you solve for 'x'. Once you have a solution for 'x', plug it into $\"y=2x-45\"$ to find the solution for 'y'. \n" ); document.write( "
