The measure of the supplement of an angle exceeds twice the measure of the complement of the angle by 20. Find the measure of half of the complement.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. The supplement is when two angles add up to 180 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. The complement is when two angles add up to 90 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3. Let x be the angle, let 180-x be it supplement, let 90-x be its complement.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 4. Let 2(90-x) be twice the complement of the angle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 5. 180=2(90-x)+20 The measure of the supplement of an angle exceeds twice the measure of the complement of the angle by 20\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 6. The following will solve for the angle x in Step 5.\r

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"180=2%2A%28highlight_red%28+90+%29-x%29%2B20\".
Moved \"90\" to the right of expression
It becomes \"180=2%2A%28-x%2Bhighlight_green%28+90+%29%29%2B20\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"180=highlight_red%28+2%2A%28-x%2B90%29%2B20+%29\".
Moved these terms to the left \"highlight_green%28+-2%2A%28-x%2B90%29+%29\",\"highlight_green%28+-20+%29\"
It becomes \"180-highlight_green%28+2%2A%28-x%2B90%29+%29-highlight_green%28+20+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+180+%29-2%2A%28-x%2B90%29-highlight_red%28+20+%29=0\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+160+%29-2%2A%28-x%2B90%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+160+%29-2%2A%28-x%2B90%29=0\".
Moved \"160\" to the right of expression
It becomes \"-2%2A%28-x%2B90%29%2Bhighlight_green%28+160+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-highlight_red%28+2%2A%28-x%2B90%29+%29%2B160=0\".
Expanded term \"-2\" by using associative property on \"%28-x%2B90%29\"
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+2%2Ax+%29-highlight_green%28+2%2A90+%29%2B160=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"2%2Ax-highlight_red%28+2+%29%2Ahighlight_red%28+90+%29%2B160=0\".
Multiplied numerator integers
It becomes \"2%2Ax-highlight_green%28+180+%29%2B160=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"2%2Ax-highlight_red%28+180+%29%2Bhighlight_red%28+160+%29=0\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+-20+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+-20+%29=0\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-20\"
It becomes \"2%2Ax-highlight_green%28+20+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+2%2Ax-20+%29=0\".
Solved linear equation \"highlight_red%28+2%2Ax-20=0+%29\" equivalent to 2*x-20 =0
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\".
Result: \"0=0\"
