You can put this solution on YOUR website! The measure of an angle's supplement is 24 less than twice the measure of the angle. Find the measure of the angle and it's supplement.
:
Let x = "the angle"
Then
(180-x) = it's supplement
:
Write an equation for what it says:
(180-x) - 24 = 2x
180 - 24 = 2x + x
156 = 3x
x =
x = 52 is the angle
and
180 - 52 = 128 is the supplement
:
:
Check solution in the given statement:
128 - 24 = 2(52)
