\"Two angles are supplementary. The measure of the larger angle is twice the measure of the smaller angle. Find the measure of the angles.\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Supplementary angles add up to 180°\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = one angle
\n" ); document.write( "180 - x = other angle {the two angles add up to 180°}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "180 - x = 2x {the measure of the larger is twice the measure of the smaller}
\n" ); document.write( "180 = 3x {added x to both sides}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 60 {divided both sides by 3}
\n" ); document.write( "180 - x = 120 {substituted 60, in for x, into 180 - x}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the two angles are 60° and 120°
\n" ); document.write( "
