Hi,

Re reply, Awesome Assignment! Good work!

complentary angles if one angle is 20 degrees more than four times the other angle 

Note: Sum of  complementary angles = 90°

Question states***

X + (4X+20°) = 90°

   5X = 70°

    X = 14°, Its Complement is 76°   (4*14°+20°)

CHECKING our answer***

  14° + 76° = 90°
