The sum of two complementary angles is 90 degrees:
Let x be the needed angle:
x = 3 + 2(90 - x)
x = 3 + 180 - 2x
x + 2x = 183
3x = 183
x = 183/3
x = 61

Let the angle be x. Then,

x = 3 + 2(90-x) (converting into an equation)

x = 3 + 180 - 2x

3x = 183 --> x = 61 (degrees)

Also, it's spelled "complement." "Compliment" means to praise someone.
