Please help! An angel is 9 more than half of its supplement. Find the measure of the smaller angle thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The main challenge is writing the problem in math instead of English. Let the angle be x. Then it's supplement is 180-x. Half its supplement is (180-x)/2. The angle is 9 more than it supplement, so: \[x=\frac{180-x}{2}+9\] Do you see how to solve the equation now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, so first multiply to each side?...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, exactly. Multiply each side by 2.
