Angle A and Angle B are complimentary angles. If angle A is 6 more than 3x angle B. What are the measurments of the angles?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

Hint: complementary -> angle A + angle B = 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where does the 90 come from

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

complementary means that two angles add up to 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

90 degrees, that is.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

^what he said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I have to get the measurments from the 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To expand on lgbasallote's hint, you can use that equation, along with the information you already know about each angle, to form a new equation which can be solved.
