Question

The supplement of an angle measures 40degrees more than twice its compliement find the measure of the angle?
The compliement =90 -x
The suppliment=180-x
40 degrees more than twice the compliement =2(90-x)+40=180-2x+40=220-2x
so, 180-x=220-2x
which would mean that the measure would still be 40 degrees
is this correct?

Answer 1

or 2x-x=220-180
which will still bring you back to a degree of 40

Answer 2

2(90-x) + 40 = 180- x
180 - 2x = 140 - x
x = 40
right
