Using subUsing substitution for Y, the top equation becomes X +6z= 180. Using elimination with X +6z= 180 and subtracting X+z= 90 result is 5z=90 and Z= 18. So complimentary angle is 18°

\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}


\textsf{Let the angle be x, then it's complement }
\textsf{will be } ~


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (x)/(6)


\textsf{And as we know, sum of complimentary angles }
\textsf{measure 90°}


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x + (x)/(6) = 90


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (6x + x)/(6) = 90


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 7x = 90 * 6


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = (540)/(7)


\textsf{So, the required angle is }
{\sf{{(540\degree)/(7)}}}
