Question 492232: Three times the measure of a supplement of an angle is eight times the measure of a complement of the angle. Find the angles. Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3(180 - x) = 8(90 -x)
540 - 3x = 720 - 8x
5x = 180
x = 36 degrees. The angle.
54 degrees, the complement.
144 degrees, the supplement.
3(144) = 432
8(54) = 432.
This does check.
