Answer:
The measure of the angle is 55º.
Step-by-step explanation:
Complement of angle x:
If two angles are complementary, the sum of their measures is of 90º. Thus, the complement of an angle x is 90 - x.
In this question:
Angle is 120 less than 5 times its own complement, so:
[tex]x = 5(90 - x) - 120[/tex]
We have to solve for x
[tex]x = 450 - 5x - 120[/tex]
[tex]6x = 330[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{330}{6}[/tex]
[tex]x = 55[/tex]
The measure of the angle is 55º.
