What's the smaller angle?

(3x-3)= 63 degrees, (x+5)= 27 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

-Complementary angles are angles whose sum is 90 degrees

-So set both equation sums equal to 90 degrees

1. Add x values together      (3x-3)+(x+5)=90    

2. Solve for x                         (4x+2) =90    

3. x=22

4. Plug in x into both equations

(3(22)-3)= 63 degrees

(22)+5= 27 degrees

(You can see that both answers add up to 90, which is a way you can check your work!)

answer: two angles are called supplementary if they add up to 180°. example: the two angles (140° and 40°) are supplementary because they add up to 180°.
