The measure of the angle supplement is 60 degrees more than four times of that of its complement
------
angle:: x
complemet: 90-x
supplement: 180-x
----------------------
Equation:
180-x = 4(90-x)+60
-----
180-x = 360 -4x + 60
3x = 240
x = 80 degrees (the angle)
90-x = 10 degrees (the complement)
180-x = 100 degrees (the supplement)
