Supplementary angles are angles whose measures have a sum of 180degrees. Complementary angles are angles whose measures have the sum of 90 degrees. Find the measure of an angle whose supplement is 10 degrees more than twice it's complement. Let 90- x equal the degree measure of it's complement and 180 -x equal the degree measure of it's supplement. Write and solve an equation.

(1) Let the angle be x.
Then by data, 180 - x = 10 + 2(90 - x)
180 - x = 10 + 180 - 2x
-x + 2x = 10
x = 10 deg
