    Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180°

    The unknown angle is known as x

    The second angle, being 18° more than the unknown angle, is x+18

    So, the expression can be written as x+x+18=180

    Subtract 18 from both sides.

    x+x=162

    Combine like terms

    2x=162

    Divide by 2 on both sides

    162/2=81

    x=81

    So, one of the angles is 81°

    The other is 99° (because 81+18)
