Question 624988: hi, i am taking an online geometry class, one of the questions is "if angle B has a measure of (2x+8)what is its complment and supplement?" how to solve it is completely beyond me i am terribly comfused. i can figure out x being the angle measure, the complement is 90-x, and the supplement is 180-x. your help is greatly appreiciated. thank you so much!

If the measure of the angle is (2x + 8), then the measure of its complement is: 90 - (2x + 8), or 90 - 2x - 8, or highlight_green%2882+-+2x%29

If the measure of the angle is (2x + 8), then the measure of its supplement is: 180 - (2x + 8), or 180 - 2x - 8, or highlight_green%28172+-+2x%29
