Two angles are complementary. The sum of the measure of the first angle and half the second angle is 68 degrees. Find the measures of the angles:

What is the measure of the smaller angle?
What is the measure of the other angle?

"Two angles are complementary."
If one angle is x, the other angle is 90-x.

"The sum of the measure of the first angle and half the second angle is 68 degrees."
x + (1/2)(90-x)=68

Solve for x, and hence find 90-x.
