The supplement of an angle is four times the complement of the angle.
Can you help me find the measure of the complement?
-----------------------
Let the angle be "x".
Its compement is "90-x"
Its supplement is "180-x"
------------------------
EQUATION:
180-x = 4(90-x)
180-x = 360-4x
180 = 3x
x = 60 degrees
