Question 492625: Twenty more than the supplementary of an angle is three times its complenment. Find the measure of the angle, its supplement and its complenment. Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 180 - x - 20 = 3(90 - x)
160 - x = 270 - 3x
2x = 110
x = 55 degrees the complement
35 degrees the angle.
145 degrees the supplement.
3(55) - 20 = 145 degrees. This does check.
