Question

The difference in the measures of two supplementary angles is 28°. Find the measures of these two angles

Answer 1

1. 104 , 2. 76

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x-28= 180

2x = 180+28

2x = 208

x= 104

1. x = 104

2. x-28 = 104-28 = 76

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 1st angle be X

Let 2nd angle be x-28

$x + x - 28 = 180$

$2x = 208$

$x = \frac{208}{2}$

$x = 104$

Angle 1 is 104°

Angle 2

$x - 28$

$104 - 28$

$76$
