Question 98809: Two angles are supplementary. One angle is 37 greater then the second. Find the two angles.

i tried drawing a picture and writing this..
x+x+37=180
then simplified it to 2x+37=180.
But i do not know how to go from there.

Two angles are supplementary. One angle is 37 greater then the second. Find the two angles
Let the angles be x and x+37
since they are supplementry x+(x+37) = 180
2x+37 = 180
2x = 180-37
= 143
x = 143/2
= 71.5
x+37 = 71.5+37 = 108.5
the two angles are 71.5 degrees and 108.5 degrees
