You are correct in setting up the equation, and your final answer is correct; you probably typoed when you wrote \"180 = 219\" when it should be \"180 = 219 - x.\" And the complement of 39 degrees is 90 - 39 = 51 degrees. You do not have to state the supplement or the complement for this problem. \n" ); document.write( "
