The measures of two complementary angles are described by the expressions (11x−11)° and (16x−7)°. Find the measures of the angles.I know complementary when their measures add to 90 degrees. but I'm not to sure where to plug the numbers in

Given:


(11x-11)^(\circ)and(16x-7)^(\circ)\text{ forms an complementary angles.}
\begin{gathered} 11x-11+16x-7=90 \\ 27x-18=90 \\ 27x=90+18 \\ 27x=108 \\ x=(108)/(27) \\ x=4 \end{gathered}
