the measure of the supplement of an angle is 30 degrees less than 5 times the measure of the compliment find 2/5 the measure of the compliment
---------------
Let the angle be "x"; supplement is "180-x"; complement is "90-x"
------------------------
EQUATION:
180-x = 5(90-x)-30
180-x = 450-5x-30
4x = 240
x = 60 degrees
complement = 90-x = 30 degrees
--------------------------
(2/5)30 = 12 degrees
================
