Answer:

The two angles are 10° and 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let our angles be [tex]A[/tex] and [tex]B[/tex]

Their sum is 90 degrees

[tex]A+B=90[/tex]

[tex]A = 90-B[/tex]

if one is 10 degrees more than seven times the other, find the angles.

[tex]A = 10 + 7B[/tex]

Now we can substitute A from the first equation

[tex]A = 90-B\\A = 10 + 7B\\\\90-B =10 + 7B\\8B = 80\\B = 10[/tex]

The two angles are 10° and 80°
