You can put this solution on YOUR website! two angles are supplementary. the larger is 6 degrees more than twice the smaller angle. find the two angles
.
Let x = smaller angle
then
2x+6 = larger angle
.
x + 2x+6 = 180
3x+6 = 180
3x = 174
x = 58 degrees (smaller angle)
.
Larger angle:
2x+6 = 2(58)+6 = 116+6 = 122 degrees
