The difference between four times the measurement of the complement of an angle and the measurement of the supplement of that angle is 35 degrees. what is the measurement of the angle?
----------------
angle:: x
complement:: 90-x
supplement:: 180-x
------
4(90-x) - (180-x) = 35
360-4x - 180+x = 35
-3x + 180 = 35
-3x = -145
x = 48 1/3 degrees
