let x = measure of the mystery angle and y = measure of its supplement
By definition of supplement, x+y = 180 since any angle and its supplement sum to a straight angle
The problem gives us that 3x = y
Substituting in 3x for y in the supplement equation gives us
x + 3x = 180
4x = 180
x = 180/4
x = 45
Check our answer: The supplement of 45 degrees is 180 - 45 = 135. 45*3 = 135. Therefore, the answer is 45 degrees.

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
If the measure of an angle is three times the measure of its supplement then find the measure of the angle?
x is the angle you're looking for and 3x is the angle that when added to x must total 180 degrees. Therefore the angle is 45degrees (x + 3x = 180)
The supplement of an angle is 20 degrees more than three times the angle itself Find the angle and its supplement?
180-20=160
The measure of an angle is 20 less than 3 times its supplement find the measure of the angle?
40-degrees 140-degrees
An angle is five times its supplement find its measure what is the measurement of the angle?
The angles are: 150+30 = 180 degrees
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?

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.
If the measure of an angle is three times the measure of its supplement then find the measure of the angle?
x is the angle you're looking for and 3x is the angle that when added to x must total 180 degrees. Therefore the angle is 45degrees (x + 3x = 180)
An angles measure is 8 times that of its suppliment what is the measure of the angle?

180-20=160
An angle measure 17 more than 3 times a number.its supplement is three more than 7 times the number.what is the measure of each angle in degrees?
The angles are: 65 degrees and 115 degrees = 180 degrees
The measure of an angle is 20 less than 3 times its supplement find the measure of the angle?

The measure of the angle is nineteen times greater than its supplement?
Nine degrees. Its supplement 171 degrees is ninteen times 9 degrees.
