Two angles are supplementary if the sum of the measures of the angles is 180 degrees. If one angle is 30 degrees more than its supplement, find the measures of the two angles.

anybody know?

  1. x + x + 30 = 180

    2x +30 = 180

    2x = 150

    x = 75

    75 + 30 = 105

    105 + 75 = 180


  2. 105 and 75

    plz help me

  3. x + y = 180

    x = 30 + y

    30 + y + y = 180

    2y + 30 = 180

    2y = 150

    y = 75

    x = 105

  4. One is 105 degrees the other is 75 degrees

    Hope that helps

  5. When are you teenagers gonna realize that Yahoo Answers is not a math tutor?  

  6. 105 and 75, easiest way is x+(x+30)=180

  7. 105 degrees!!

    did that like 3 yrs ago!

  8. One angle is 30 + x.

    The second angle is x.

    30 + x + x = 180

    2x + 30 = 180

    2x = 180 - 30

    2x = 150

    x = 150/2

    x = 75 degrees.

    30 + x = 30 + 75 = 105 degrees.

    Check: 75 degrees + 105 degrees = 180 degrees.

    I hope that helps. :)

  9. 75 and 105

  10. The equation would be 180= x + (30+ x)

    x would the measure of the smaller angle

    and "30 + x" would be the measure of the larger one, which would be the measure of the smaller angle plus 30 as stated

    And you solve for x


  11. Let the angle be A.  Then its supplement is 180 - A.

    But A is 30 degrees more than the supplement, so

    A = (180 - A) + 30

    2A = 210

    A = 105

    180 - 105 = 75

    So the angles are 75 and 105.


  12. do it your self its for your own good so you can l-e-a-r-n!


  13. okay follow these instructions to get the answer:

    1. Take 30 off 180 to get 150

    2. Divide 150 by 2 to get 75

    3. So now one angle is 75 and the other is:

    4. 75 plus 30 which is 105.

    (now one angle is 75 and the other is 105. the total is 180 and one angle is 30 degrees more than the other)

    hope this is helpful!
