@.Sam.

Answer 5

I think you need more information than that.

Answer 6

That's all that's given

Answer 7

We do not need anything else given.

Answer 8

I think you mean 180 not 1800

Answer 9

Let x be one of the two supplementary angles.
The other is 6 + 2x.
Supplementary angles sum to 180.
x + 6 + 2x = 180
@ineedyouubiebs --> Solve for x and post what you get.

Answer 10

Imagine it said one number is six more than twice the other number.

Directrix - how did you know they are supplementary angles?

Answer 11

x=58 degrees

Answer 12

@wolf1728 "Two angles form a linear pair." --> That is how it is known that the angles are supplementary.

Answer 13

Now what do I do?

Answer 14

@ineedyouubiebs x=58 degrees CORRECT

Answer 15

Okay Directrix - I was not familiar with the "linear pair" vernacular.
Thanks.

Answer 16

@ineedyouubiebs So one angle is 58. The other is 180 - 58 = ?

Or, you can find it by cranking out six more than twice the measure of the other angle.

That is, 6 + 2*58 = ? Same thing.

Answer 17

@wolf1728 Unkle mentioned the double factorial theorem or rule the other night. I had never heard of that. I think he said that 5!! = 5 * 3 * 1 and I'm thinking "What???" So, no worries on linear pair.

Answer 18

Ohhhh I get it now! Thanks @Directrix :D

Answer 19

Did you get 122?

Answer 20

Yup! I did :)
