Question 382724: The measure of the supplement of an angle is 40 more than 2 times the complement of the angle. what is the measure of the angle? Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the supplement of the angle x be 180 - x, and the complement be 90 - x. We have
180 - x = 2(90 - x) + 40
180 - x = 220 - 2x --> x = 40
