Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of winning with six more than twice the measure of the other angle. Find the measure of each angle.

Answer 1

If two angles form a linear pair they are supplementary and their measures add up to 180.

x = first angle

2x + 6 = second angle

x + 2x + 6 = 180

3x + 6 = 180

3x = 174

x = 58

second angle = 2(58) + 6 = 122
