Two angle are suplement and one measure 60 degree more than the other fine the measure of the larger angle
-----------------
Equations:
x + y = 180
x = y +60
-----
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y"::
y+60 + y = 180
2y = 120
y = 60 degrees
-----
Solve for "x":
x + y = 180
x + 60 = 180
x = 120 degrees.
