Problema Solution
The measure of the supplement of an angle is 60 degrees more than two times the measure of the original angle. Find the measure of the angles.
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' be the measure of the original angle
the measure of the supplement of an angle is 60 degrees more than two times the measure of the original angle
(180 - x) = 60 + 2x
by solving the equation we find
x = 40

180 - x = 180 - 40 = 140
the angles are 40 and 140 degrees.
