Question 154709: If the supplement of an angle is twenty more than twice its complement, find the original angle, its complement, and its supplement. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the supplement of an angle is twenty more than twice its complement, find the original angle, its complement, and its supplement.
---------------
Let the angle be "x";then the supplement is "180-x";and the complement is 90-x.
----------------
EQUATION:
180-x = 2(90-x)+20
180-x = 180-2x+20
x = 20 degree (original angle)
