Question 208415
The measure of a supplement of an angle is 12* greater than three times the measure of a complement. Find the measure of the angle.
-------------------------
Let the angle be "x".
Its supplement is 180-x
Its complement is 90-x
------------------------------
Equation:
supp = 3*comp + 12
180-x = 3(90-x)+12
180-x = 270 - 3x + 12
2x = 90+12
2x = 102
x = 51 degrees
