Option D:

Solution:
Given compound inequality:

Let us first solve
.
Subtract 6 from both sides.


To reverse the inequality multiply by -1 on both sides.


Now solve the next inequality
.
Add 9 on both sides.


Divide by 2 on both sides.


Combine the inequality.

Option D is the correct answer.
Answer:
The measure of the larger is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The measure of an angle is
degrees less than three times the measure of another angle.
The two angles are supplementary.
To find: The measure of the larger angle.
Solution:
Let the measure of the smaller angle be
.
Then the measure of the larger angle be
.
The two angles are supplementary, so their sum is
.
So, 





So, the measure of the smaller angle is
.
And, the measure of the larger angle is
.
Hence, the measure of the larger is
.
Solve the equations
first one
take the sqrt of both sides
x-y=√71
add y to both sides
x=y+√71
sub y+√71 for x in other part
(y+√71)²+y²=59
y²+2y√71+71+y²=59
2y²+2y√71+71=59
minus 59 both sides
2y²+2y√71+12=0
factor out 2
2(y²+y√71+6)=0
use quadratic equation or something
y=

and
sub those for x
x=y+√71
note: √71=(2√71)/2
