You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let angle be "x".
Complement = 90-x
--------------------
Equation:
x = 5(90-x)
x = 450 - 5x
6x = 450
x = 75 degrees
======================

Step 1. Complementary angles are those angles when they add up to 90 degrees.
Step 2. Let x be the angle and let 5x be its complement.
Step 3. Then
Divide by 6 to both sides of equation to get x
Step 4. The angle is 15 degrees and its complement is 75 degrees.
I hope the above steps were helpful.
