The supplement of an angle is three more than two and one half times the complement of an angle. Find the measure of the angle, the complement, and the supplement.
------------------------
angle:: x
complement:: 90-x
supplement:: 180-x
------------------------
Equation:
180-x = (5/2)(90-x) + 3
--------
360 -2x = 5(90-x) + 6
--------
360 -2x = 450-5x + 6
3x = 96
x = 32 (angle)
90-x = 58 (complement)
180-x = 148 (supplement)
