Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
So, from the information given, we can relate angles A and B:
Plug this back into the first equation:
Combine like terms:
Move the 6 to the other side:
Divide both sides by 4:
So, we know one angle, plug this back into the equation we made for the relation:
And since , we know we've gotten the correct answer.
