Algebra.Com's Answer #71932 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The measure of the complement of an angle is 37+2x. The measure of a supplement of an angle is 141+x. What is the angle? \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "37+2x=90-x \n" ); document.write( "3x = 53 \n" ); document.write( "x = 53/3 \n" ); document.write( "-------------------- \n" ); document.write( "141+x = 180-x \n" ); document.write( "2x = 39 \n" ); document.write( "x = 39/2 \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "I get the same results as you do. \n" ); document.write( "================ \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I solved for the two equations: c=37+2x and x+c=90. x = 17.666667 \n" ); document.write( "Then I solved for s=141+x and s+x=180. x = 19.5\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
