Answer:

C) 125°

Explanation:

Supplementary angles add to 180 degrees. Complementary angles add to 90

An angle's complement is 35°.

35+x =90

Subtract 35 from each side

35 -35+x = 90-35

x = 55

We want to find the supplement of this angle

55+y = 180

Subtract 55 from each side

55-55+y = 180-55

y= 125

The angle is 55 so its supplement is 125
