If B is a complement of A this means that the sum of the measures of A and B is 90 degrees.

mA + mB = 90
mB =90 - mA
mB = 90 - 40 = 50

Thus, the measure of angle B is 50 degrees.

If C is a supplement of B then, the sum of the measures of B and C is 180 degrees.
mC + mB = 180
mC = 180 - mB
mC = 180 - 50 = 130

Therefore, the measure of angle C is 130 degrees.

Answer:

inequality form: x $\leq$ -2 or x > 3

interval notation form: (-∞,-2] ∪ (3,∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached a picture that shows all the work. You begin by isolating then solving for x on both sides. Then form a solution using the information found out about x. For example, you can combine the found inequalities for x to solve that x must be GREATER than 3 while being LESS than -2. Using that you can form an line and make a line. Remember, when writing in interval notation form you always begin from the left to the right (in reference) to the number line.
