document.write( "Question 905668: I need help! i need help on where you use an algebraic equation to find the measures of two angles, use x to represent the degree measure of the angles supplement. EX: The measure of an angle is 2 times greater than its supplement. what is the measure of the supplement? I need help i do not know how to do this please reply! \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #549305 by rm29924(97)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The supplement to an angle will make it equal 180. \n" ); document.write( "Let x = the angle's supplement \n" ); document.write( "Let 2x = the angle \n" ); document.write( "2x + x = 180 \n" ); document.write( "3x = 180 \n" ); document.write( "x = 60\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "therefore the angle is 2(60) = 120 degrees \n" ); document.write( "and the supplement = 60 degrees \n" ); document.write( "they add up to 180 degrees \n" ); document.write( " |
