the sum of an angle plus its complement plus its supplement is 200 more then the angle. Find the measure of all three angles.

An angle (A) + its complement (C) = 90 degrees
An angle (A) + its supplement (S) = 180 degrees
So in this case:
(A + C + S) = (A + 200)
Angle 35
Comp 55
Supp 145
(A + C + S) = 235 = (A + 200)
An angle (A) + its supplement (S) = 180 degrees
So in this case:
(A + C + S) = (A + 200)
Angle 35
Comp 55
Supp 145
(A + C + S) = 235 = (A + 200)

Anytime man, glad to share my useless knowledge whenever possible.
Really just got it from trying different #s. Once I set up that equation I just started plugging in #s for the angle, then getting the result and seeing if it matche. I am sure there is a way to prove it out with the formulas, though I am almost certain that with a small equation like this that would have taken me longer than just trial and error.

The non trial and error method
A+C+S = A+200
A+S = 180 .... S = 180 - A
A+C = 90 ... C = 90 - A
A + (90-A) + (180-A) = A + 200
A + 270 - 2A = A + 200
70 = 2A
35 = A
Yeah I get bored sometimes like that....

A + (90-A) + (180-A) = A + 200
