I would say make an equation.

@Luigi0210 i know but i dont know how to represent that the two angles differ by 22 like i have 90=a+b but that doesnt help me figure out the values

luigi0210 · Answer

Well it says one has a difference of 22 so:
x+(x-22)=90

anonymous · Answer

@Luigi0210 shouldnt there be two different variable because there are two diffrent values i still can't solve that

luigi0210 · Answer

Nope, they're the same value. One just has a difference of 22.

anonymous · Answer

@Luigi0210 so how am i gonna solve that?  distribute then solve?

anonymous · Answer

@Luigi0210 i figured it out thank you!
