You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = the angle in degrees
y = the supplementary angle of x, in degrees
---
x + y = 180
x = y + 34
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 180
x - y = 34
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
