Question 811613
The supplement of an angle is three more than two and one half times the complement of an angle. Find the measure of the angle, the complement, and the supplement.
------------------------
angle:: x
complement:: 90-x
supplement:: 180-x
------------------------
Equation:
180-x = (5/2)(90-x) + 3
--------
360 -2x = 5(90-x) + 6
--------
360 -2x = 450-5x + 6
3x = 96
x = 32 (angle)
90-x = 58 (complement)
180-x = 148 (supplement)
