Question 185321
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures sum to 180 degrees (or *[tex \Large \pi] radians if you would rather).  Since the other relationship between the angles is given in terms of degrees, we'll use 180.


Let the measure of the second angle be <i>x</i> degrees.  Then the measure of the first angle must be 3<i>x</i> - 8 degrees.


Adding them:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  x + (3x - 8) = 180]


Solve for <i>x</i> to give you the measure of one of the angles, then subtract that measure value from 180 to get the other.  Then multiply <i>x</i> by 3 and then subtract 8 to check your answer.
