Question 95221
Five times the compliment of an angle less twice the angle's supplement is 40 degrees.  Find the measure of the supplement.
------------
Let the angle be "x".
Its complement is "90-x"
Its supplement is "180-x"
----------
EQUATION:
5(90-x)-2(180-x)=40
450-5x-360+2x = 40
-3x = -50
x = 16 2/3 degrees
------------
Supplement = 180-16 2/3 = 163 1/3 degrees
