\"If twice the measure of the supplement of an angle is equal to the sum of three times the complement plus 112 degrees, find the measure of the angle\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A = the angle
\n" ); document.write( "You know
\n" ); document.write( "180-A = the supplement
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "90-A = the complement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Just write an equation for the given statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\"\"If twice the measure of the supplement of an angle is equal to the sum of three times the complement plus 112 degrees,
\n" ); document.write( "2(180-A) = 3(90-A) + 112
\n" ); document.write( "360 - 2A = 270 - 3A + 112
\n" ); document.write( "-2A + 3A = 270 + 112 - 360
\n" ); document.write( "A = 22 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can check the solution in the given statement by finding the supplement and the complement \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
