The measure of one of two complementary angles is six less

[Slayer2992]

1) Write an equation, solve for two angles.
The measure of one of two complementary angles is six less than twice the measure of the other.

2) Find the meausre of the angles, complement, and supplement.
A supplement of an angle is six times as large as a complement of the angle.

3) Three times the measure of a supplement of an angle is eight times the measure of a complement of the angle.

Thanks for your help everyone.

What have you tried? Where are you stuck?

Please be specific. Thank you.

Im unsure on how to format these equations from a sentense to an equation.

But how far have you gotten? For instance, for the first exercise, you've picked a variable (what?) for the measure of one of the angles (which?). You've created an expression for "twice the other", and then used that to create an expression for "six less than" that. And... then what?

Please be specific. Thank you.
