Two angles are supplementary if they total 180 degrees.
X could be anything. If x is 1, then the supplement is 177. If x is 10, then the supplement is 150. Since we don't know what x is, we can only rewrite the equation as a subtraction.
So, the answer would be 180 - 3x degrees.

3x is not a number of degrees.
If you mean 3 degrees -- 177 is the supplement.
An angles supplement is the difference between the angle and 180 degrees.

supplemental angles add up to 180 degrees. so if you have 3x, the supplement would be 180 - 3x
