Question

one of two complementary angles is six more than one-fifth of the other. Find the two angles

Answer 1

Basically you need to solve this being x one angle the other is 6+ one fifth of x so :
\[x + (\frac{ x }{ 5 } + 6) = 90\]

can you solve that?

Answer 2

you will get x = 70° in the end so one fifth of seven plus 6 is 20° and you get 2 complementary angles ( sum is 90°).
