Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the measure of the angle in degrees, and let y be the measure of its complement in degrees.
From the problem statement, we know that:
x = 3y - 2
Also, we know that the sum of the measure of an angle and its complement is equal to 90 degrees, so:
x + y = 90
Substituting the first equation into the second equation, we get:
3y - 2 + y = 90
4y - 2 = 90
4y = 92
y = 23
Substituting y = 23 into the first equation, we get:
x = 3y - 2 = 3(23) - 2 = 67
Therefore, the measure of the angle is 67 degrees.
