Question 854552
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
Our angle, angle X, paired up with its buddy Y equals 90.
However, measure of X is 56 greater than Y. (X = Y + 56)

Sooo, x + y = 90
      x + (x - 56) = 90 
      2x - 56 = 90
      2x = 146
      x = 73

Angle Measure of X = 73
Angle Measure of Y= 17 {y = 73-56}
