WHAT IS THE MEASURE OF EACH ANGLE?

Question

Two angles are supplementary. The measure of one angle is 48° more than twice the measure of the other angle. Find the measure of each angle. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. Use the degree symbol, °, after each angle measure.)

Answer 1

Let x = the measure of the smaller angle

Let 2x + 48 = the measure of the larger angle

x + 2x + 48 = 180

3x = 132

x = 44°

2x + 48 = 2(44) +48 = 136°
