Question 328636: The measure of an angle is 2 more than 3 times the complement of the angle. Find the measure of the angle and the complement. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the angle be x
the complement of the angle = 90-x
.
2 more than 3 times the complement = 3(90-x)+2
x=3(90-x)+2
x=270-3x+2
x+3x=272
4x=272
x=272/4
x=68 deg the measure of the angle
the complement = 90-x
= 90-68
=22 deg
