Hi,
two angles {{{highlight(x)}}} and {{{highlight(90-x)}}}are complementary. 
one of the angles <u>is</u> 8 degrees more than half the other.
Translate into an equation: 
 {{{ x = (90-x)/2 + 8}}}   |||Multiplying thru by 2 so as all denominators = 1
 2x = (90°-x) + 16
  3x = 106
   x = 35 1/3°   and it complement is 54 2/3 °
and...
  {{{35 &1/3 = 27& 2/3 + 8}}}
