Question 1080045: If the sum of the measures of two angles is 180 degrees, then the angles are supplementary angles. If the sum of the measures is 90 degrees then they are said to be complementary angles.
Suppose two angles are complementary angles. If the larger angle has a measure that is six more than five times the measure of the smaller angle then find the measure of each angle.

smaller is x
larger is 5x+6
They add to 90
6x+6=90
6x=84
x=14 deg the smaller
the other is 76 deg or 5x+6
