Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the angle

We have to show that when the measure of an angle is added to three times the angle's complement , the result is equal to the sum of the angle;s complement and the angle' s supplement.

Angle's complement =90-x

(by definition of complementary angles)

Therefore, the angle's supplement=180-x  ( By definition of supplement angles )

According to question

[tex]x+3(90-x)=270-2x[/tex]

[tex]90-x+180-x=270-2x[/tex]

Hence, when the measure of an angle is added to three times the angle's complement , the result is equal to the sum of the angle's supplement.

Hence, proved
