Algebra.Com's Answer #462914 by vosotroslovely(1)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If x = the supplement and the angle is 15° more than twice its supplement, then the angle is 2x + 15.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 2x+15 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "3x + 15 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "3x = 165 \n" ); document.write( "x = 55° <= supplement \n" ); document.write( "2x+15 = 2(55) + 15 = 125° <= angle\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The supplement is 55°. \n" ); document.write( " |
