\"Two angles are supplementary. one angle is 3 degrees less than twice the other. find the measures of the angles. what is the measure of the smaller angle and the other angle?\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = one angle
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 3 = other angle {one is 3 less than twice other}\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Supplementary angles add up to 180°\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 2x - 3 = 180 {added the two angles and set equal to 180}
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 3 = 180 {combined like terms}
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 183 {added 3 to both sides}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 61 {divided both sides by 3}
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 3 = 119 {substituted 61, in for x, into 2x - 3}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "61° and 119° are the two angles
\n" ); document.write( "61° is the smaller angle
\n" ); document.write( "
