If we set the angle as x, we can create the equations...
Supplement=180-x
Complement=90-x

If we say the supplement 180-x, is equal to 7 times the complement, 7∗(90-x), then we can create an equation to solve the problem:
180-x=7(90-x)
180-x=630-7x
180=630-6x
-450=-6x
75=x

So your angle is 75 degrees.
