Two angles are said to be complementary if their sum is 90°.
Let x represent the first angle. Therefore, the second angle is 1.5x (given).
x + 1.5x = 90°
2.5 x = 90°
Solve for x by dividing by 2.5 on each side of the equation. 2.5 x = 90°
You obtain x=36°.
If x=36°
Then, 2.5x = 2.5 (36°)= 54°
You can check for complementary by adding 36°+54° = 90°!
