You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the degree measure of an angle is 40° less than 3 times the degree measure of its supplementary angle, what is the degree measure of the angle?
---------
Angle:: x
Supplement:: 180-x
-------------------------
Equation:
x = 3(180-x)-40
x = 540-3x-40
4x = 500
x = 125 degrees
180-x = 55 degrees
