Question 155472
The measure of a supplement of an angle is 12 more than twice the measure of the angle. Find the measures of the angle and its supplement.
--------------------------------------
Let the angle be "x"; its supplement is "180-x"
--------------------------------------
EQUATION:
180-x = 2x+12
3x = 168
x = 56 degrees (the angle)
180-x = 124 degrees (the supplement)
