three times the complement of an angle less the suppliment of an angle is 10 decrees. find the supplement
-------
angle: x
complement: 90-x
supplement: 180-x
-------------------------
Equation:
3(90-x)-(180-x) = 10
270-3x-180+x = 10
-2x +90 = 10
-2x = -80
x = 40
------
supplement: 180-x = 180-40 = 140 degrees
