Find the measure of an angle such that the difference between the measures of its supplement and three times its complement is 4 degrees.
An angle is:x
Then an angle's supplement is:180-x
Then an angle's complement is:90-x
Difference means subtract.
3 times means multiply by 3.
is means =.
(180-x)-3(90-x)=4
180-x-270+3x=4
-90+2x=4
90-90+2x=4+90
2x=94
2x/2=94/2
x=47
The angle is 47 degrees.
Happy Calculating!!!
