SOLUTION: Find the measures of two complementary angles if one angle is 10 degrees more than 4 times the other angle

Question 663952: Find the measures of two complementary angles if one angle is 10 degrees more than 4 times the other angle
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
complementary angles = 90 degrees
if x angle = 10+4y angle
and x+y = 90,
then use substitution to solve
(10+4y) + y = 90
10 + 5y = 90
5y = 90-10
5y = 80
y = 16 degrees
x=4(16)+10 = 74 degrees
...
check
74+16=90
