Two angles are supplementary if their sum is 180. One angle measures two times the measure of a smaller angle. If x represents the smaller angle and these two angles are supplementary, find the measure of each angle.
---
smaller = x
supplement = 180-x

Equation:
180-x = 2x
180 = 3x
x = 60 (smaller)
180-x = 120 (larger)
