You can put this solution on YOUR website! The supplement of an angle is 40 more than twice its complement. Find the measure of the angle, it's complement, and its supplement.
-----------------------------
angle: x
supplement: 180-x
complement: 90-x
------------------------
Equation:
180-x = 2(90-x)+40
180-x = 180-2x+40
--------
x = 40 degrees
supplement: 140 degrees
complement: 50 degrees
