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.

What is the measure of the angle whose complement is four ninths its supplement?

The measure of an angle whose complement is four ninths its supplement?æ is 18 degrees. It is calculated as follows: let y be the angle, its complement will be (90-y) degrees and its supplement will be (180-y)?æ degrees and?æ since it complement is?æ 4/9 its supplement; then?æ it is?æ?æ(90-y)= 4/9(180-y).?æ Hence, you will get 18 degrees when you solve the equation.


What angle is such that its supplement is equal to twice its complement increased by 65 degrees?

Supplementary angles add up to 180° Complementary angles add up to 90° Let the angle be θ; then form an equation from the known facts: 1) Supplement: 180° - θ 2) Complement: 90° - θ → twice complement is (90° - θ) × 2 → increased by 65° is (90° - θ) × 2 + 65° These two are equal, thus: 180° - θ = (90° - θ) × 2 + 65° → 180° - θ = 180° - 2θ + 65° → θ = 65° The angle is 65°.

Find the measure of an angle such that the sum of the measures of its complement and its supplement is 150 degrees?

Very simple, let's mount a linear system: x=measure of the angle; y=supplement; z=complement: I:x+y= 180; II:x+z= 90; III: y+z= 150; Summing I with II we have: I+II: 2x+y+z= 270; III: y+z=150 Now, subtracting III from I+II we have a simple equation: 2x=120; >x= 60< So, the angle whose sum of the measures of its complements and supplement is 150, has 60 degrees.


The supplement of an angle added to the complement of the angle gives 210 degrees What is the measure of the angle?

Oh, dude, let's break it down. So, the supplement of an angle means 180 degrees minus the angle, and the complement is 90 degrees minus the angle. When you add them together, you get 210 degrees. So, you just set up the equation (180 - x) + (90 - x) = 210 and solve for x, which is the measure of the angle. Math, man, it's like a puzzle but with numbers.
