180 - x degrees.

<u>Find The measure of an angle whose supplement measures eight times its measure?</u>
Suppose the angle is x degrees. Then its supplement is 180-x degrees. But you also know that the supplement is 8x so 8x = 180 - x deg Add x to both sides: 9x = 180 deg Divide both sides by 9: x = 20 deg

share: If a supplement of an angle has a measure 78 less than the measure of the angle what are the measures of the angles?
Suppose the angle is x then its supplement is 180 - x so 180 - x = x - 78 that is, 258 = 2x or x = 258/2 = 129 >>>>> Angle + Supplement = 180 Angle = Supplement + 78 Solve for the system of equations... Angle + Supplement = 180 Angle - Supplement = 78 ------------------------------------- 2 Angle = 258 Angle = 129 Supplement = 51

<b> share: What is the angle and its supplement if the measure of an angle is 3 times its supplement?</b>
Suppose the angle is x. Then its suplement is x/3. So x + x/3 = 180 degrees. ie 4x/3 = 180 or x = 180*3/4 = 135 degre
