1) The complement of an angle is 24 degrees greater than twice the angle. Find the measure of the complement.
2) When one-half the supplement of an angle is added to the complement of an angle, the sum is 120 degrees. Find the measure of the complement.
Can you guys please help me? I don't know what the starting equation would be for these.......

i dont need just the answer i need the equations you use to solve them

i figured the first one out but now i need help figuring the second one out

Complement = angles add to 90 degrees
Supplement = angles add to 180 degrees
First problem:
90-x = 24+2x
90-24 = 3x
3x = 66
x = 22
Complement = (90 -22) = 68 degrees
Second Problem:
(180-x)/2 + (90-x) = 120
90- x/2 + 90 - x = 120
180 -3/2x = 120
3/2x = 60
x = 40 degrees
Complement = 90 - 40 = 50 degrees
Good luck.

the starting equation for 1 is (x)+(2x+24)=90
not sure about 2 sorry :(
and the starting equations should be easy to solve, so unless you have a brain tumor... YOU'RE BLONDE
