Find the measure of an angle if the measure of the angle is 8 degrees less than three times the measure of its supplement.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = angle
\n" ); document.write( "180 - x = supplement\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 3(180 - x) - 8 {measure of angle is 8 less than three times supplement}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 540 - 3x - 8 {used distributive property}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 532 - 3x {combined like terms}
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 532 {added 3x to both sides}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 133 {divided both sides by 4}
\n" ); document.write( "133 is the angle
