Problem

Solution

For this case we can set up the following notation

x= represent the measure of the first angle

y= represent the measure of the second angle

We also know that x= 5y

And since are complementary we need to satisfy this:

x +y = 90

5y +y= 90

6y = 90

y= 90/6 = 15

And solving for x we got:

x = 5*15 = 75

then the best solution is:

(2) 15º and 75º
