Question

4 times the measure of the complement of an angle is equal to / the measure of the original angle's supplement. What is the measure of the angle?

Answer 1

Recall that the complement of an angle x is 90-x, and the supplement of an angle is 180-x.

So you can convert this statement into an equation as follows:
4(90-x)=(180-x)
which you can then solve for x.

Answer 2

i dont know what to do with the equation

Answer 3

Ok, so for the left side you can distribute the four first. You then get
360-4x=180-x
Can you see where we go with this equation?

Answer 4

640-4x=180

Answer 5

is that right
