Question 561210:
How do I find x? What I did was:
5x + 2x + (x + 20) = 180
7x + (x + 20) = 180
8x + 140 = 180
8x = 40
x = 5
I know that it's wrong because the answer is 20°. I just don't know what I am doing wrong.
***********|
***********| x + 20°
***********|***/
***********|**/
*******5x**|*/*2x
___________|/__________
Sorry about the weird looking text but that is what the angle looks like.

Question 566704: The sum of the measures of two complementary angles is 90 degrees. If one angle measures 21 degrees more than twice the measure of the other, find the measure of the smaller angle.
I am horrible at word problems! I can't get the problem out of what they asked. If the equation was in front of me I could solve it. Any help on how to identify how to make a word problem like this into an equation I can solve?
