Problema Solution
Using x for the variable, write an equation that describes the given situation. Then solve the equation. The measurement of an angle is 24 degree smaller than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measurement of the two angles?
Answer provided by our tutors
let x be that angle.
then
supplementary angle= 180-x.
so,
x+24= 180-x
2x= 156
x= 78
so, angles are 78 and 102*
