Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step:

  1. Let's denote the angle as x.

  2. The supplement of an angle is 180 degrees minus the angle. So, the supplement of x is 180 - x.

  3. The complement of an angle is 90 degrees minus the angle. So, the complement of x is 90 - x.

  4. According to the problem, the supplement of the angle is three times its complement. So, we can write the equation as follows: 180 - x = 3 * (90 - x).

  5. Simplify the equation: 180 - x = 270 - 3x.

  6. Add 3x to both sides of the equation: 180 + 2x = 270.

  7. Subtract 180 from both sides of the equation: 2x = 90.

  8. Divide both sides of the equation by 2: x = 45.

So, the angle is 45 degrees.
