The measure of the​ angle's supplement is 60
​° more than four times that of its complement. Find the measure of the angle described

Respuesta :

Answer:

80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle be x then four times it's complement plus 60, that is

4(90 - x) + 60 ← is it's supplement

Supplementary angles sum to 180°

Sum the angle and it's supplement and equate to 180

x + 4(90 - x) + 60 = 180 ← distribute and simplify left side

x + 360 - 4x + 60 = 180

- 3x + 420 = 180 ( subtract 420 from both sides )

- 3x = - 240 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 80

The required angle = x = 80°

supplement = 4(90 - 80) + 60 = 4 × 10 + 60 = 40 + 60 = 100°
