<PRE><B>Question 1135165</B>
&lt;br&gt;
The statement of the problem is faulty.  &quot;a complementary angle&quot; could be ANY angle less than 90 degrees.&lt;br&gt;
The statement of the problem has to say that the other angle is THE complemetary angle of the given angle:&lt;br&gt;
&quot;An angle measures 62 degrees more than THE COMPLEMENT OF THE ANGLE&quot;&lt;br&gt;
or&lt;br&gt;
&quot;An angle measures 62 degrees more than ITS COMPLEMENT&quot;&lt;br&gt;
Let x be the given angle 
Then (90-x) is the complementary angle&lt;br&gt;
The angle is 62 degrees more than the complementary angle:&lt;br&gt;
{{{x = (90-x)+62}}}&lt;br&gt;
I&#39;ll let you do the algebra to finish the problem....</PRE>
