the measure of the angle supplement is 10 degrees more then 3 times more than that of its complement?
;
let A = the angle
then
(180-A) = the supplement
and
(90-A) = the complement
:
the equation for the given statement:
(180-A) = 3(90-A) + 10
180 - A = 270 - 3A + 10
3A - A = 280 - 180
2A = 100
A = 100/2
A = 50 degrees is the angle
