Equations:
x + y = 180 degrees
x = 2y
---
Substitute and solve for "y":
2y+y = 180
y = 60 degrees
---
x = 2y = 120 degrees

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given:
let x = 1st angle
let 2x = 2nd angle
Solution:
x+2x=180
3x=180
3x/3 = 180/3
x = 60
Answer:
1st angle is 60 degrees
2nd angle is 120 degrees
