    Complement of x is the number that adds to x to get 90

    so complement is y so

    x+y=90, then solving for y

    y=90-x

    twice of that

    so 180-2x

    1/2 the supplement of x

    supplement is what adds to it to get 180

    let's say it is z

    z+x=180

    z=180-x

    half of that

    z/2 = (180-x) / 2

    let's

    but that other thing is bla, so

    (180-x) / 2

    x+180-2x + (180-x) / 2=180

    since all angles add to 180 in a triangle

    add like terms

    180-x + (180-x) / 2=180

    180-x+90-x/2=180

    270-3x/2=180

    minus 270 both sides

    -3x/2=-90

    times 2 both sides

    -3x=-180

    divide bot sides by - 3

    x=60

    complement of that is 90-60=30, but twice of that is 60

    then 1/2 supplement

    180-60=120, half of that is 60

    all angles are 60 degrees
