"The complement of angle x is 9 more than five times the measure of the angle. Find both angles."
Complementary angles add up to 90°.
x = the angle
90 - x = the complementary angle
90 - x = 5x + 9 {complement is 9 more than 5 times the angle}
90 = 6x + 9 {added x to both sides}
81 = 6x {subtracted 9 from both sides}
x = 13.5 {divided both sides by 6}
90 - x = 76.5 {substituted 13.5, in for x, into 90 - x}
the two angles are 13.5° and 76.5°
