Answer:

The larger number is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers.

y = 2x + 4

x + y = 28

So x + 2x + 4 = 28

3x = 24

x = 8

y = 20

Find the measure of an angle who's measure is 20 less than the measure of its supplement.

Dvinal [7]

supplementary angles add up to 180°.

x = measure of such angle

x + 20 = measure of her sibling.

since "x" has 20 less than her sibling, then clearly her sibling has to have 20 more than "x".

$\bf (x)+\stackrel{sibling}{(x+20)}=180\implies 2x+20=180\implies 2x=160 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{160}{2}\implies x=80$
