Question 162580: the measure of an amgle is 35 more than twice the complement of the angle. Find the measure of the angle, its supplement, and its complement
Note: The complement of an angle is always 90-(angle); the supplement of an angle is always 180-(angle)
Let x= angle1
Then 90-x=complement of angle1
180-x=supplement of angle1
Now lets translate from words to algebra:
x =2(90-x)+35
x=180-2x+35
x=215-2x
x+2x=215-2x+2x
3x=215+0
3x/3=215/3
x=215/3
complement = 90-(215/3)=(270/3)-(215/3)=55/3
supplement = 180-(215/3)=(540/3)-(215/3)=325/3

According to person who posted problem, it should be set up as follows:
180-x = 2(90-x)+ 35
yet 180-x stands for the measure of the supplement of an angle...setting up the problem like this would be correct if the problem was the following:
THE MEASURE OF THE SUPPLEMENT OF AN ANGLE IS 35 MORE THAN TWICE THE COMPLEMENT OF THE ANGLE. FIND THE MEASURE OF THE ANGLE, ITS SUPPLEMENT, AND ITS COMPLEMENT

Question 162951: Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to set up this problem:
Find the measure of an angle such that the difference between the measure of
its supplement and 5 times the measure of the complement is 10 degrees.
This question is on a worksheet that my professor gave us for homework.
I tried setting it up like this:
(180-x) = 5(90-x) - 10
Thank you,
Joan
