Question

I hope you can help me with this I can’t understand it and I’ve already had three tutors turn me down because they didn’t understand it

Answer 1

Given:

An angle whose supplement is 10 degrees more than twice its complement.

Required:

To write and solve the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle be x degrees.

Supplement of this angle = 180 - x

Complement of this angle = 90 -x

Given that supplement is 10 degrees more than twice its complement.

So the equation becomes:

180- x =2(90 - x) + 10

Solve by multiplication.

180 - x = 180 - 2x +10

Solve by collectiong the like terms.

2x - x = 180 - 180 + 10

x = 10 degrees

Final Answer:

The value of the angle is 10 degrees.
