The measure of the supplement of the complement of an angle is 62 ess then 3 times the measure of the complement. Find the measure of the complement.
the compliment is 76
solve this equation
let x be the angle,its compliment is (90-x)and its suppliment is (180-x)
(180-x)=-62+3(90-x) and x=14 therefore the compliment is 76
check that
(180-14)=-62+3(90-14)
(166)=-62+3(76)
(166)=-62+(228)
true
