Question 498300: Twice the measure of the supplement of an angle is 39 degrees less than five times the complement of the angle. What is the measure of the angle? (Hint: Let 180 – x represent the supplement and 90 – x represent the complement.) How would I even begin writing this in a numeral sentence? Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2(180 - x) + 39= 5(90 - x)
360 - 2x + 399 = 450 - 5x
3x = 51
x = 17 the angle
163 degrees = the supplement.
73 degrees = the complement.
2(163) = 326 + 39 = 365
5(73) = 365
This does check.
Cleomenius.
