The supplement of an angle is 36 degrees less than twice the supplement of the complement of the angle. Find the measure of the supplement. Can you also explain it too?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "angle = x
\n" ); document.write( "supplement = 180-x
\n" ); document.write( "complement = 90-x
\n" ); document.write( "supplement of the complement = 180-(90-x) = 90+x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "180-x = 2(90+x)-36
\n" ); document.write( "180-x = 180+2x-36
\n" ); document.write( "180-x = 144+2x
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 180-144
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 36
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12 degrees (the angle)
\n" ); document.write( "180-x = 168 degrees (the supplement of the angle)
\n" ); document.write( "====================================================
