Question 1196354
.
An angle measures 115.8° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. 
What is the measure of each angle?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Let x be the measure of the greater / (larger) angle ("an angle").

Then its supplement measure is  (x-115.8) degrees.


Since the angles are supplementary,

    x + (x-115.8) = 180  degrees.


Simplify and find x

    2x = 180 + 115.8 = 295.8

     x               = 295.8/2 = 147.9 degrees.


<U>ANSWER</U>. The angles are  147.9 degrees and  180-147.9 = 32.1 degrees.

Solved.
