Find the measure of an angle who supplement measures 39 more than twice its complement. \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "Angle = x \n" ); document.write( "Supplement = 180-x \n" ); document.write( "Complement = 90-x \n" ); document.write( "180-x = 2(90-x)+39 \n" ); document.write( "---------- 180 does not equal 219. I think you're subtracting there. \n" ); document.write( "180-x = 180 - 2x + 39 \n" ); document.write( "-x = -2x + 39 \n" ); document.write( "x = 39 degs \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "Supp = 141, comp = 51 \n" ); document.write( " |
