Angles A and B are complementary.
A+B = 90 degrees
--------------------
Measure of angle A equals to 5x+8 and angle B equals to x-11. Find angle A and angle B
Substitute to get:
5x+8 + x-11 = 90
6x - 3 = 90
6x = 93
x = 31/2
x = 15.5 degrees
---------------
A = 5x+8 = 5*15.5+8 = 85.5 degrees
B = 15.5-11 = 4.5 degrees
