Question 376317: Two angles are complementary, the sum of the measure of the first angle and one forth the second angle is 62.25 degrees find the measure of the angles

x = one angle,
90 - x = other angle. Then
x + (90-x)/4 = 62.25. Hence
x + 22.5 -x/4 = 62.25,
3x/4 = 39.75,
0.75x = 39.75,
x = 53, one angle, and 90 - 53 = 37, the measure of the other angle.
