Answer:
The angle measures 25°; the complement measures 65°; the supplement measures 155°.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the measures of two complementary angles is 90.
If the angles measure x and y, then x + y = 90.
Given angle x, then y = 90 - x.
The sum of the measures of two supplementary angles is 180.
If the angles measure x and y, then x + y = 180.
Given angle x, then y = 180 - x.
Let the angle be x.
Its complement is 90 - x.
Its supplement is 180 - x.
5(90 - x) = 2(180 - x) + 15
450 - 5x = 360 - 2x + 15
-3x = -75
Angle: x = 25
Complement: 90 - x = 90 - 25 = 65
Supplement: 180 - x = 180 - 25 = 155
Answer: The angle measures 25°.;, the complement measures 65°; the supplement measures 155°.
