Question 501966: Please help me with this translating equation. I think I just need help getting the equation, because I am pretty confident when it comes to solving equations.
Twice the supplement of angle x is 36 degrees greater than 10 times the complement of x. Find the measure of x.
Thank you!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = angle
180-x = supplement
90-x = complement
2*(180-x) = 10*(90-x) +36
360-2x = 900 -10x - 36
360 +8x = 900 -36
9x = 900 -396
9x = 504
x = 56
180-x = 124
90-x = 34
