Question 543946: find the measure of an angle such that the sum of the measures of its complement and its supplement is 110

The sum of an angle and its compliment is 90 degrees.
x+c=90
c=90-x

The sum of an angle and its supplement is 180 degrees.
x+s=180
s=180-x

In this case c+s=110
Substitute the values, in terms of x, for c and s.
90-x + 180-x = 110
270-2x=110
-2x=-160
x=80
