If the degree measure of an angle is 40° less than 3 times the degree measure of its supplementary angle, what is the degree measure of the angle? A. 50° B. 55° C. 125° D. 130°

OpenStudy (zugzwang):

Best to know what you're working with. if A is your missing angle, what is its supplementary angle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know

OpenStudy (zugzwang):

Well, if say, B is the supplementary angle of A. Then A + B = 180 Now use algebraic manipulation, find B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like angle a + angle b

OpenStudy (zugzwang):

yes, so what's B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there a drawing of a angle in your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (zugzwang):

If A is the measure of an angle, then the measure of its supplement is *whatever you have to add to it to get 180*
