Question 1126273: If the degree measure of an angle is 40 degrees less than 3 times the degree measure of its supplementary angle what is the degree measure of the angle ?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! angle is x
supplement is 180-x
x+40=3(180-x)
x=540-40-3x
4x=500
x=125 deg ANSWER
supplement is 55 deg, and 125 is 40 less than 3(55)
