The question I need help on is: If the supplement of an angle is twenty more than twice its complement, find the original angle, it complement and its supplement \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. Supplementary angles is when two angles add up to 180 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Complementary angles 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 its supplement, and 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.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 5. Then, 180-x=2(90-x)+20 since supplement of an angle is twenty more than twice its complement.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 6. Solving yields the following steps.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"180-x=2%2890-x%29%2B20\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"180-x=180-2x%2B20\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add 2x-180 to both sides of the equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"180-x%2B2x-180=180-2x%2B20%2B2x-180\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=20\" Then \"180-x=160\" and \"90-x=70\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check 160=2*70+20...which is a true statement.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 7. ANSWER: The angle is 20 degrees, its supplement is 160 degrees and its complement is 70 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful. \r
