I need help im not that good with geometry

1)Find the degree measure of the angle whose complement measures one third of its supplement.

2)The measure of the supplement of an angle is three times as great as the measure of the angles complement. What is the measure of the angle?

3)The difference between the measures of an angle and its complement is 14.Find the measure of the smaller of the two angles.

and finally
4)Find the measure of an angle if it is 12 less than twice the measure of its complement.

Edit: Didn't see the "twice than its compliment part"

I'll only do one for you so you get the idea.

90-x = 1/3 (180 - x)
270 - 3x = 180 - x
90 = 2x
45 = x
