Two angles supplementary. One angle is 4degrees° less thanless than three times the other. Find the measures of the angles.

What is the measure of the smaller​ angle?
What is the measure of the other​ angle?

what does it mean to be supplementary?

If one angle is x, then what is the other?

To solve this problem, let's first define the variables:

Let x be the measure of the smaller angle in degrees.
Then, the measure of the other angle can be expressed as 3x - 4.

According to the problem, the angles are supplementary, which means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

So, we can set up the equation:

x + (3x - 4) = 180

Combining like terms, we get:

4x - 4 = 180

Next, we can isolate the variable:

4x = 180 + 4
4x = 184

Dividing both sides by 4, we find:

x = 46

Therefore, the measure of the smaller angle is 46 degrees.

To find the measure of the other angle, substitute x into the expression 3x - 4:

3(46) - 4 = 138 - 4 = 134

Therefore, the measure of the other angle is 134 degrees.
