Three times the complement of an angle is twenty more than the supplement.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the angles, the complement, and the supplement.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let A = \"the angle\"
\n" ); document.write( "the equation for the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\"Three times the complement of an angle is twenty more than the supplement.\"
\n" ); document.write( "3(90-A) = (180-A) + 20
\n" ); document.write( "270 - 3a = 200 - A
\n" ); document.write( "270 - 200 = -A + 3A
\n" ); document.write( "70 = 2A
\n" ); document.write( "A = 70/2
\n" ); document.write( "A = 35 degrees is the angle
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "90 - 35 = 55 degrees is it's complement
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "180 - 35 = 145 degrees is it's supplement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this in the statement
\n" ); document.write( "\"Three times the complement of an angle is twenty more than the supplement.\"
\n" ); document.write( "3(55) = 145 + 20
\n" ); document.write( "165 = 165 \n" ); document.write( "
