Set up a system of linear equations in two variables and solve for the unknown quantities. Two angles are supplementary. The measure of the first angle is 12° more than twice the measure of the second angle. Find the measure of each angle. Let x represent the first angle and y represent the second angle. Part: 0 / 3 Part 1 of 3 "Two angles are supplementary" can be written as:
