Supplementary angles are two angles that have measures with a sum of 180 degrees. Angles 1 and 2 are supplementary and the measure of angle 2 is 3 degrees more than twice the measure of angle 1.

Measure of ∠1 = 59° and measure of ∠2 = 121° using substitution method.

What is the system of equations?

" A system of equation is a finite set of equations for which we need to find the common solution of unknown variables."

According to the question,

x represents measure of ∠1

y represents measure of ∠2

Two situations are given for which we need to find the system of equations.

Situation 1: Angle 1 and 2 are supplementary angles, which can be represents by equation:

                         

x  + y = 180°                                                   _____(1)

Situtaion2: Measure of angle 2 is 3 degree more than twice the measure of angle 1, which can be represents by equation:

y = 2(x) +3°                                _____(2)

Substitute the value of (2) in (1) we get,

 x + 2(x) +3°  = 180°      

⇒ 3x + 3° = 180°

⇒ 3x = 180° - 3°

⇒ 3x = 177°

⇒ x = 177° / 3

x = 59°

Substitute the value of x to get the value of y we have,

y = 2(59°) + 3°

  = 121°

Hence, Measure of ∠1 = 59° and measure of ∠2 = 121° using substitution method.
