ExemploHow to translate problems

Call the angle $x$. So the complement is $90^{\circ} - x$ and the supplement is $180^{\circ} - x$. Translate the sentence into an equation. In exercise 52, “the angle exceeds its complement in $76^{\circ}$” becomes $x - (90^{\circ} - x) = 76^{\circ}$, therefore $2x = 166^{\circ}$ and $x = 83^{\circ}$.

Two angles are supplementary and the ratio between the complement of one and the supplement of the other, in that order, is $\dfrac{1}{8}$. Determine these angles.

See the resolution of the book

Let $x$ and $y$ be the measurements. One’s complement: $90^{\circ} - x$; supplement of the other: $180^{\circ} - y$.

$$x + y = 180^{\circ} \quad\text{e}\quad \frac{90^{\circ} - x}{180^{\circ} - y} = \frac{1}{8} \ \Longrightarrow\ 720^{\circ} - 8x = 180^{\circ} - y.$$

With $y = 180^{\circ} - x$: $720^{\circ} - 8x = x$, then $x = 80^{\circ}$ and $y = 100^{\circ}$.
