Question

the supp of an angle is 60 less than the twice the supp. of the comp angle. find the measure of the comp

supp = supplementary
comp = complementary

Answer 1

Could you fill in 90 for complementary and 180 for supplementary, and you would then have to divide and subtract(maybe) to get your answer.... I think... try it and see what you get!

Answer 2

i know the 1st part is 180-x=60_2x then i dont no the last part

Answer 3

let x = unknown angle

the supplement of this angle is 180 - x

the complement of this angle is 90-x

-------------------------------------------------------

"the supp of an angle is 60 less than the twice the supp. of the comp angle." translates to

180 - x = 2*(90-x) - 60

solve for x and tell me what you get

Answer 4

wait wheres the supp on the right of the equal sign

Answer 5

oh wait, i see what you mean

Answer 6

let x = unknown angle

the supplement of this angle is 180 - x

the complement of this angle is 90-x

-----------------------------------

the supplement of the complement is

180 - (90 - x)

180 - 90 + x

90 + x

----------------------------------

so

"the supp of an angle is 60 less than the twice the supp. of the comp angle."

translates to

180 - x = 2*(90 + x) - 60
