SOLUTION: two angles are supplementary. One angle measures 12 more than the other. Find the measures of the angles. Y+X=90 DEGREES (Y+12)=X Y +(Y+12) =90 2Y+12=90 2Y =90-12

Question 337550: two angles are supplementary. One angle measures 12 more than the other. Find the measures of the angles.
Y+X=90 DEGREES
(Y+12)=X
Y +(Y+12) =90
2Y+12=90
2Y =90-12
Y= 72/2
Y = 36 THEN PLUG IN EQUATION ABOVE 36+X=90 THEN X=90-36
THEN X = 54
