Question

The measure of an angle is one hundred twenty-four degrees more than its supplement. What are the measures of the two angles?

Please show work :)

Answer 1

2 supplementary angles equal 180degrees
if one is 124
the other one is 180-124=56 degree

Answer 2

Supplements sum to 180. If we make the angles x and y:
x + y = 180
x = y + 124
(y + 124) + y = 180
2y + 124 = 180
2y + 124 -124 = 180-124
2y = 56
2y/2 = 56/2
y = 28°
x = y + 124
x = 28 + 124 = 152°
So they are 28° and 152°
