SOLUTION: The sum of the measure of an angle and three times its complement is 202. Find the measure of the angle.
***** this is how I set it up as ..... x= sum 3(90-x) = 202 x + 3(90-x

: The sum of the measure of an angle and three times its complement is 202. Find the measure of the angle.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+3(90-x)=202
x+270-3x=202
-2x=202-270
-2x=-68
x=-68/-2
x=34 degrees for the smaller angle.
90-34=56 degrees for the larger angle.
Proof:
34+3*56=202
34+168=202
202=202
