Question 493806: The supplement of an angle exceeds five times the complement of an angle by 10 degrees. Find the number of degrees in the angle. Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 180 - x - 10 = 5(90 -x)
170 - x = 450 - 5x
4x = 280
x = 70 degrees the angle.
20 degrees the complement.
110 degrees the supplement.
5(20) + 10 = 110 degrees.
This does check,
Cleomenius.
