Answer:

The measure of the angle is 63 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle in question be x degrees.

The supplement is (180 - x) degrees, and the complement is (90 - x) degrees.

Given that the supplement is 63 degrees more than twice the measure of its complement, we have the equation:

180 - x = 2(90 - x) + 63

Solving for x in the above:

180 - x = 180 - 2x + 63

2x - x = 180 - 180 + 63

x = 63
