document.write( "Question 1067849: Two angles are supplementary if their sum is 180°. The larger angle measures thirty degrees more than twice the measure of a smaller angle. If x represents the measure of the smaller angle and these two angles are supplementary, find the measure of each angle. \n" ); document.write( "

Let the smaller angle = x
\n" ); document.write( "then the greater angle = 2x + 30 ... ... ... (Given)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 2x +30 = 180 degrees. .... (Supplementary angles)
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 30 = 180 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x = 180 - 30
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 150
\n" ); document.write( "therefore x = 150/3 = 50 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Smaller angle = 50 and\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Larger angle = 130 degrees.\r
