An angle measures 50° less than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

70°  and 20°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees  and we now that one angles measure is 50 degrees less than the other. So we can represent it by the expression   x = y -50    where x  and y are the two angles. We don't the value of y so it will be just y .

Now we know that if we add them,they will equation 90 degrees so we can represent it by the equation,

y + y-50 = 90  Now solve for y

2y - 50 = 90  

      +50  +50

2y = 140

y = 70  

Now we know one angles is 70 degrees and the other is 50  less than it so the other angle will be   70 - 50 = 20
