Let A = angle
Let (90 - A) = the complement of the angle
A = 2(90 - A)
Can you take it from here?

The measure of an angle is six more than twice the measure of its complement. Find the measures of both angles.

Let angle be A

Then its complement = 90 - A

Now, since the angle is six more than twice the measure of its complement, we'll have:

A = 2(90 - A) + 6

A = 180 - 2A + 6

3A = 186

A = =

Therefore, one angle is and the other is: -----
