Hi, 

  Two angles are complementary      

Let x  and (90�-x) represent the first and second angle respectively

Write as we Read***

 x + (90� -x )/2 = 76�

solving for x

  x/2 + 45� = 76�

        x/2 = 31�

         x = 62�, the first angle, the second is 28�



CHECKING our Anwser***

 62� + 14� = 76 �
