The larger angle of two complementary angles is four times as large of the smaller angle find the measurement of the smaller angle

The answer is: 18° .

Explanation:

x + 4x = 90 ; solve for "x"

 5x = 90 ;

 Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "5"; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;

  5x / 5 = 90 / 5 ;

       x = 18  ;   The answer is: 18° .

I’m pretty sure the * means multiplication. so, if you multiply 5*1, it would equal 5. they are basically are-writing 5x1 as 5*1. so they would be… 5 10152025303540455055
