You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find 2 summplementary angles such that the measure of the 1st angle is 34 degrees less than 3 times the measure of the second.
-----
Equations:
x = 180-y
x = 3y-34
-----
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y":
180-y = 3y -34
4y = 214
y = 53.5 degrees
----
x = 126.5 degrees
