Question

The measure of a complement of an angle is three more than twice the measure of the angle. Find the measures of the angle and the complement.

help me find a formula! :D

Answer 1

angle complement is 90-angle.
so: (90-x)-2x=3

Answer 2

90-x-2x=3
3x=87
x=87/3=29
complement =(90-29)=61

Answer 3

wait, how did you get (90-x)-2x=3, I understand that (90-x) is ONE of the complements, but the other complement is 2x+3 right? how did you get -2, and the = 3?
