Question 238432: find the angle such that its complement is fourteen times the angle

sol:
let the angle be x
fourteen times the angle=14x
complement of the angle=90-x
according to the problem
complement of the angle= 14 times the angle
90-x=14x
adding x on both sides
90-x+x=14x+x
90=15x
dividing both sides by 15 we get
90/15=15x/15
6=x
the angle=6 degrees
