Complementary angles have a sum of 90�
let x = measure of an angle
90-x = measure of its complement
x = (90-x) + 10
x = 100 - x
x + x = 100
2x = 100
2x/2 = 100/2 (divide both sides by 2 to isolate x)
x = 50� (MEASURE OF FIRST ANGLE)
90-x = ?
90-50 = 40� (substitute value of x which is 50 to get the COMPLEMENTARY ANGLE)
50� + 40� = 90�
