Question 500729: An angle's measure is 5 degrees less than 3 times the measure of it's supplement. Find the measure of the angle and it's supplement Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x -5 + 3x = 180
4x = 185
x = 46.25 degrees, this is the angle.
180 - 46.25 = 133.75 degrees. This is the supplement.
46.25(3) = 138.75 - 5 = 133.75
This does check.
