If the complement of an angle is 6° less than one-third of its supplement, find the measure of the angle.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = measure of angle
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "90-x = complement
\n" ); document.write( "180-x = supplement
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "90-x = (1/3)(180-x)-6
\n" ); document.write( "270-3x = (180-x)-18
\n" ); document.write( "270-3x = 162-x
\n" ); document.write( "270 = 162+2x
\n" ); document.write( "270 = 162+2x
\n" ); document.write( "108 = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "54 degrees = x\r
