Question 496484: the measure of a supplement of an angle is 12 greater than three times the measure of a complement. find the measure of the angle. Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 180 - x - 12 = 3(90 -x)
168 - x = 270 - 3x
2x = 102
x = 51 degrees The angle.
39 degrees the complement.
129 degrees the supplement.
3(39) + 12 = 129
This does check.
