A supplement of an angle is four times as large as the angle find the measure of the angle?

You start with two equations
y+x=90 and 4x+y=180
and y is the given angle
So if you want to figure out what x is you have to substitute an equation for y. so it ends up being 4x+90-x=180
and then you solve for x
add the x's and subtract 90 from both sides giving you 3x=90
and then x=30
But you want to get y so you plug it back into the equation y+x=90
So your answer will equal 60.
I hope this helps :)

What is the measure of an angle whose measure is seven times its supplement?
The angles are 157.5 degrees and 22.5 degrees
Is a 25 angle is congruent to a 25' angle?
No. Assuming the first refers to the measure in degrees, it is 60 times as large.
The sum of an angle and three times its complement is 62 degree more than its supplement. Find the measure of the angle?
118 degrees is your answer... I am the type of person that just answers it without an explanation.
What is the Measure of an angle if twice the measure of its supplement is thirty more than five times the measure of its supplement?
The supplement of an angle is (180) minus (the angle).Here we have an angle 'A', and we are told that: 2( 180 - A ) = 30 + 5( 180 - A ). We calculate:360 - 2A = 30 + 900 - 5A = 930 - 5A (clear parentheses)3A = 570 (Add 5A - 360 to both sides)A = 190 (Divide both sides by 3)Check:Its supplement is (180 - 190) = -102(-10) (?=?) 30 + 5(-10)-20 (?=?) 30 - 50-20 = -20 Yes !
What would be an equation for the statement five times the complement of an angle less twice the angle's supplement is 40 degreesFind the measure of the supplement?
Suppose the supplement of the angle is x degrees. Then the angle is 180 - x degrees. Therefore the complement of the angle is 90 - (180 - x) degrees = x - 90 degrees. So 5*(x - 90) - 2*x = 40 Solve the above equation for x.
Three times the measure of the supplement of an angle is equal to eight times the measure of its complement Find the angle its complement and its supplement?
The angle= 36, the supplement= 144, the compliment=54
The measure of the supplement of an angle is 40 less than 3 times its complement Find the measure of the angle its supplement and its complement?
25
What is the measure of an angle that is five times its supplement?
150o
What is the measure of an angle that is nine times its supplement?
The supplement of an angle x is equal to 180 - x. The measure of an angle that is nine times its supplement can be written as: x = 9(180 - x) You can then solve for the measure of the angle x: x = 1620 - 9x 10x = 1620 x = 162 Therefore, that angle which is nine times its supplement is itself 162 degrees.
An angles measure is 8 times that of its suppliment what is the measure of the angle?
The angle is 160 degrees and it's supplement is 20 degrees.
