Question 100762
Five times the compliment of an angle less twice the angles supplement is 40 degrees. Find the measure of te supplement. 
----------------
Let the angle be "x".
The complement is "90-x"
The supplement is "180-x"
EQUATION:'
5(90-x)-2(180-x)=40
450-5x-360+2x = 40
90-3x = 40
3x = 50
x = 50/3 = 16 2/3 degrees
-------------
The supplement = 180 - 16 2/3 = 153 1/3 degrees
