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?

Question

anonymous · Answer

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.

i dont know what to do with the equation

anonymous · Answer

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?

640-4x=180
