How do I write an equation for this: The measure of an angle is 110 degrees more than the measure of its supplement. What is the measure of the angle?
-
let x = an angle
then,
(180 - x) = the supplement of an angle
x = (180 - x) + 110
2x = 290
x = 145º
the supplement of 145º is 35º

then,
(180 - x) = the supplement of an angle
x = (180 - x) + 110
2x = 290
x = 145º
the supplement of 145º is 35º

x measure of the angle
x+x+110=180
2x=70
x=35
proof
35+(35+110)=180
x+x+110=180
2x=70
x=35
proof
35+(35+110)=180

angle is A, its supplement is 180-A
A = 110 + 180-A
A = 145
A = 110 + 180-A
A = 145
