Two supplementary angles equal 180 degrees.

Let the first angle = x

The second angle is 30 degrees more so this would be x + 30

Now add the two angles together to equal 180:

X + x+ 30 = 100

Combine like terms:

2x + 30 = 180

Subtract 30 from both sides:

2x = 150

Divide both sides by 2:

X = 75

One angle = x = 75

The other angle is x + 30 = 75 + 30 = 105

The smaller angle is 75 degrees.
