The measures of the two supplementary angles are

nothing.

​(Do not include the degree symbol in your answer. Use a comma to separate answers as​ needed.)

Answer 1

Hi Charlie, let x represent one of the supplemental angles. The other angle will be 3x + 36. The total of the two angles is 180.

Equation to solve:

x + (3x + 36) = 180

4x + 36 = 180

4x = 144

x = 36

One of the angles is 36 degrees.

The other angle is: 3 * 36 + 36, or 144 degrees.

Or 36, 144
