You don't have to give me the answer, if you can just write out what you need to do, i would be greatly appreciated.
Five times the complement of an angle less twice the angle's supplement. Find the measure of the supplement.

Let's call the angle X
The complement of X would be 90-X. (Complementary angles total 90 degrees.)
The supplement of X would be 180-X. (Supplementary angles total 180 degrees.)
Does that help?

lets follow the above answer with an example
If the unknown answer was, say 60, then 5 times the complemnt would be 150 (5 x 30) while 2 times the supplement would be 240 (2 x 120) got the idea?
You can now develop a quick equation where the result of 5 x complement = 2 x supplement and you will know the angle.
ok??

5(90-x) = 2(180-(90-x))
450-5x = 2(90+x)
450-5x = 180+x
-5x-2x = 180-450
-7x = -270
x = -270/-7
x = 38.57
to get the supplement,
180-38.57=128.57*
128.57=supplement.

your mystery angle='s X
5(90-X)-(2(180-X))
supplement=180-X

In any case,it has to be a square.
