Question 691098: I need help solving this problem as soon as possible .
Half the supplement of an angle is 25 degrees less than three times the complement of the angle. Find the measure of the angle.

Two angles are supplements when they add up to 180
Two angles are complements when they add up to 90
First, set up the equation

Now simplify the equation

Combine like terms

Add 3X to both sides

Subtract 115 from both sides

Divide both sides by 2.5
