You can put this solution on YOUR website! The measure of a supplement of angle is six times as large as a complement of the angle. Find the measures of the angle, its supplement, and its complement.
--------------
Let the angle be "x"
Complement is "90-x"
Supplement is "180-x"
---------------
EQUATION:
180-x 6(90-x)
180-x = 540-6x
5x = 360
x = 72 degrees (the angle)
90-x = 18 degrees (the complement)
180-x = 108 degrees (the supplement)
