Question 1144725
.
The measure of the supplement of an angle is 40 more than two times the measure of the complement of {{{highlight(cross(an))}}} <U>the</U> angle. 
Find the measure of the angle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Let x be the measure of the angle (the value under the question).


Then the supplement of the angle is 180-x degrees, while

     the complement of the angle is  90-x degrees,


and we are given that

     180-x = 2*(90-x) + 40.


Simplify and solve for x


     180 - x = 2*90 - 2x + 40

     180 - x = 180 - 2x + 40

     2x  - x = 40

      x      = 40  degrees.      <U>ANSWER</U>

Solved.
