Complementary angles. Two angles are complementary. The measure of one angle is 15 degrees more than one -half of the measure of the other. Find the measure of each angle.
let one angle be x
the other angle is (90-x)

As per the condition
x= 15+1/2(90-x)
multiply equaton by 2
2x=30+90-x
2x+x=120
3x=120
x=40
40 & 50
