Question 133038
Two angles are complementary. The sum of the measure of the first angle and half the second angle is 78 deg. Find the measures of the angles.
------------------------
Let the angles be "x" and "90-x"
--------------------------------
EQUATION:
x + (1/2)(90-x) = 78
x + 45 -(x/2) = 78
(1/2)x = 33
x = 66
90-x = 24
-------------------------- 
What is the measure of the smaller angle?
Ans: 24
What is the measure of the other angle?
Ans: 66
