What do "complementary" and "supplementary" mean in this context?

The measure of angle A plus the measure of angle B is/are ... what?

Translate "If angle B is 5 times larger than angle A" into an equation.

You can eliminate "the measure of angle B" by using the above fact. B= ??

This leaves you with just 2 variables: A and C.
Write 2 equations in A and C and solve them for A and C.
