Supplements, Complements, etc.

'An angle is 5 more that 4 times its supplement. Find the measure of the angle, the supplement, and the complement.'

WTC? I don't understand how to lay this out and solve it. Could you get me started?

A supplementary angle is one that when the degrees are added equal 180 degrees. A complentary angle is one when the degrees are added up they equal 90 degrees. Now put those amounts into the equation.

Supplement:

4(180)+5=?

Complement:

4(90)+5=?

Hope this helps!
