Question 648559: The measure of the supplement of an angle is 36 less than the measure of the angle. Find the measures of the angles Answer by swincher4391(1107) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.
Let x be one angle. Let its supplement be x -36.
Then x+x-36 = 180
2x = 216
x = 108
Then (108-36) or 72 is its supplement.
Check:
108+72 = 180 TRUE
