1. By definition, the sum of the Suplementary angles is 180° and the sum of the Complementary angles is 90°. Keeping this on mind, you have:

90-x (The complement of the angle)
180-x (The sumplement of the angle)

"x" is the angle that you want to calculate.

2. Then, you have:

3(90-x)+30=180-x
(270-3x)+30=180-x
300-3x=180-x
300-180=-x+3x
120=2x
120/2=x
x=60°

What is the measure of the angle?

The answer is: The measure of the angle is 60°.
