    Two angles atre complementary. The sum of the measure of the first angle and one-fourth the second angle is 69 degrees. Find the measure of the angles.
.
Two angles are complementary if their sum equals 180 degrees.
.
Let x = measure of second angle
then
180-x = measure of first angle
.
(180-x) + (1/4)x = 69
720 - 4x + x = 276
720 - 3x = 276
-3x = -444
x = 148 degrees (second angle)
.
First angle:
180-x = 180-148 = 32 degrees (first angle)
