Answer:

75 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles equal 90 degrees together. That is the case with angle X and Y. Set an equation to describe the situation.

Y=1/5X

X=5Y

Now, set another equation:

X+Y=90

Substitute the first equation into the second one.

5Y+Y=90

6Y=90

Y=15

Substitute this once again:

X+15=90

X=75
