Let x = the smaller angle
then 2x + 6 = the larger angle
Since they are comlementary, then their sum is 90°
smaller angle + larger angle = 90°
(x) + (2x+6) = 90
3x + 6 = 90
3x = 84
x = 28 (this is the smaller angle)
the larger angle is 2x + 6 = 2(28) + 6 = 56 + 6 = 62
Answer: smaller angle is 28, larger angle is 62
