Half the supplement of an angle is 3 degrees less than twice the complement of the angle.
find the measure of the angle
:
.5(180 - A) = 2(90 - A) - 3
90 - .5A = 180 - 2A - 3
-.5A + 2A = 177 - 90
1.5A = 87
A = 87/1.5
A = 58 degrees
:

Check this
.5(180 - 58) = 2(90 - 58) - 3
.5(122) = 2(32) - 3
61 = 64 - 3
