What does 'supplementary' mean ?
It means the two angles add up to 180 degrees.
So ...
                                                    (2x + 12) + (x)  =  180

Eliminate parentheses:             2x + 12   +   x   =  180

Add up the 'x' terms:                  3x + 12             =  180

Subtract 12 from each side:     3x                      =  168

Divide each side by  3 :              x                      =   56 degrees
