a complement of an angle is how many degrees is needed to be a right angle (90 degrees)

the supplement is how many degrees needed to make a flat line (180 degrees)

1. lets call the angle x

the complement is one fifth of the supplement

90-x = 1/5 (180-x)

solve the equation thats your answer

2. 90-x = 3x

in case you probably did properly in Algebra, Geometry will probable be a venture. that is lots greater out of the field thinking than equation concentrated. i might propose going into tutoring often and appealing in the class. instructors are lots greater leanient to scholars they see in touch in the class.
