Two complementary angles are expressed as 4x - 16 and 2x 10. find the number of degrees in each angle.

Angle 1 = 4x - 16

angle 2 = 2x + 10

4x - 16 + 2x + 10 = 90

combine like terms

6x - 6 = 90

add 6 to both sides

6x = 96

divide both sides by 6

x = 16

angle 1 = 4x - 16 = 4 (16) - 16 = 48

angle 2 = 2x + 10 = 2 (16) + 10 = 42
