Two angles are complementary. The larger angle measures 6 more than three times the smaller angle. Write an equation that can be used to find out the measures of both angles then simplify

3 answers

x + 3x + 6 = 90

Solve for x to find the smaller angle.

4x+6=90
4x=84
x=21

The smaller angle is 21 degrees
The larger angle is 69 degrees
