An angle measures 42 degrees more than twice the measure of its complement. what is the measure of its complement? a. 16º b. 26º c. 46º d. 106º -!

First, lets comprehend the question.

A complement of a number is a number in which added to the number, it will be measure 90.
The phrase: "More than" means you gotta add it
The phrase: "twice the complement of the number" means you gotta multiply the complement by 2.

Next step, solving.
To get the complement of 42° we must subtract it by 90°.
So 90-42=48. So the complement of 42 is 48 since they both add up to 90.
Now it says here to multiply the complement twice. So multiply 48 by 2

The answer should be 5.
