Let the angle be A, then its supplement is 180-A and its complement is 90-A.
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28180-A+=+3%2890-A%29%2B2%29\" Simplify and solve for A.
\n" ); document.write( "\"180-A+=+270-3A%2B2\" Add 3A to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"180%2B2A+=+272\" Subtract 180 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2A+=+92\" Divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28A+=+46%29\"degrees.
