Homework Help: Geometry

An angle measures 5 degrees more than 4 times its complement. What is the angle?

I understand that the formula would be 4x+5 degrees. Would this be the answer?

The sum of complementary angles = 90. Let x = the smaller angle.

x + 4x + 5 = 90

5x = 85
x = 17

Larger angle = 90 - 17
