Answer: 73 degrees and 107 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of supplementary angles are 180 degrees. So you add 2x+3 and 3x+2. Then you get 5x+5=180.

Subtract 5 from both sides. Now the equation is 5x=175.

Divide 5 on each side. x=35

Replace x with 35 in the equations. The angles are 73 and 107.

They both add up to 180 degrees so it is correct.
