The supplement of an angle is 36 degrees less than twice the supplement of the complement of the angle. Find the measure of the supplement.

Let the angle be A, then its supplement is (180-A) and its complement is (90-A).
180-A = (180-2(90-A))-36 Simplify.
180-A = 180-180+2A-36
180-A = 2A-36 Add A to both sides.
180 = 3A-36 Add 36 to both sides.
216 = 3A Finally, divide both sides by 3.
72 = A
The supplement of A is 180-A
180-72 = 108 degrees.
