Supplementary angles are adjacent angles which add to 180 degrees. Let's define the angles:
Let x and y define the two angles, and let's say x is the larger of the two angles We can write two equations: x+y = 180 (definition of supplementary angles) x-y = 32 (given)
Add the equations together to eliminate y: ------------ 2x = 212 [divide both sides by 2] x=106 The other angle is 180-106 = 74
