    80°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the angle be x then four times it's complement plus 60, that is

    4 (90 - x) + 60 ← is it's supplement

    Supplementary angles sum to 180°

    Sum the angle and it's supplement and equate to 180

    x + 4 (90 - x) + 60 = 180 ← distribute and simplify left side

    x + 360 - 4x + 60 = 180

    - 3x + 420 = 180 (subtract 420 from both sides)

    - 3x = - 240 (divide both sides by - 3)

    x = 80

    The required angle = x = 80°

    supplement = 4 (90 - 80) + 60 = 4 * 10 + 60 = 40 + 60 = 100°
