Answer:

[tex]y=58.67^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]x=121.33^{\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two angles are supplementary .

We have to write an equation that can be used to find the measures.

Let x and y are supplementary

According to question

[tex]x+y=180^{\circ}[/tex]( by definition of supplementary angles)

[tex]x=2y+4[/tex]

Substitute the value then we get

[tex]2y+4+y=180[/tex]

[tex]3y=180-4[/tex]

[tex]3y=176[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{176}{3}[/tex]

[tex]y=58.67^{\circ}[/tex]

Substitute the value then, we get

[tex]x+58.67=180[/tex]

[tex]x=180-58.67[/tex]

[tex]x=121.33^{\circ}[/tex]
