The measure of the supplemnt of an angle is 60 less than 3 times the measure of the compliment of the angle. Find the measure of the angle.
Let the measure of the angle be = x
its supplement will be = 180-x
its compliment will be = 90-x
relation given is (supplement) = 3(90-x)-60
180-x = 270-3x-60
3x-x = 270-180-60
2x = 270-240
2x = 30
x = 30/2 = 15
the measure of the angle = 15 degrees
