Hi,

Find the ratio of an angle "x" to its supplement (180°-x)

 if it is 15 degrees more than twice its supplement?

Question states***

 x = 2(180°-x)+15

   3x = 375°

    x = 125°,  supplement is 55°

CHECKING our Answer***

 125 = 2*55 + 15

ratio of angle "x" to its supplement

 125%2F55+=+25%2F11
