Let's call the angle, a. Half of it (a/2) plus its supplement (180-a) is equal to 3 times its complement (90-a).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2F2+%2B+180-a=+3%2A%2890-a%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2F2+%2B+180-a=+3%2A90-3a\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2F2%2B180-a=270-3a\"
\n" ); document.write( "Unknowns on one side, numbers on the other
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2F2-a%2B3a=270-180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2F2%2B2a=90\"
\n" ); document.write( "Get rid of the denominator
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2A2%2F2%2B2%2A2a=90%2A2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2B4a=180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5a=180\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for a
\n" ); document.write( "\"5a%2F5=180%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=36\"
\n" ); document.write( "So its supplement is equal to
\n" ); document.write( "\"180-36=144\"
\n" ); document.write( "and its complement is equal to
\n" ); document.write( "\"90-36=54\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
