Question

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!! The measure of one angle is six more than three times the measure of another angle. If the two angles are complementary, find the measure of each.

Answer 1

The smaller angle is x, and the larger angle is 3x plus 6, therefore adding x and 3x plus 6 is a straight angle.
3x + 6 + x = 180
4x + 6 = 180
4x = 174
x = 43.5
3(43.5) + 6
3x + 6 = 136.5
The smaller angle is 43.5 degrees and the larger complimentary angle is 136.5 degrees.
