The supplement of an angle is 40 more than twice its complement. Find the measure of the angle, it's complement, and its supplement.
-----------------------------
angle: x
supplement: 180-x
complement: 90-x
------------------------
Equation:
180-x = 2(90-x)+40
180-x = 180-2x+40
--------
x = 40 degrees
supplement: 140 degrees
complement: 50 degrees
