The supplement of an angle is 60 degrees less than twice the supplement of the complement.

Find the complement.
-
x, the angle, "an angle".
Supplement, 180-x;
Supplement of the complement: 180-(90-x)

Transcribing the description into an equation:
180-x=2%28180-%2890-x%29%29-60

Question asks for 90-x.
