: Use the given information to write an equation and solve the problem.
Find the measure of an angle that is twice as large as its supplement.
I know that an answer is that one angle is 30 and the other is 60 but i dont know how to put it into an equation. This question is from textbook Geometry
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the measure of an angle that is twice as large as its supplement.
---------------
Let the angle be "x".
The measure of its supplement is "180-x".
---------------
EQUATION:
x = 2(180-x)
x = 360-2x
3x = 360
x = 120 (the angle)
180-x = 60 (the supplement)
