CNC Machining: Setting Up and Solving for Complementary Angles

A CNC machinist is programming a laser cutter for a metal part that requires two complementary angles. The design blueprint specifies that the difference between the measures of these two angles must be exactly 20{}20^{\circ}. If xx represents the larger angle and yy represents the smaller angle, state the system of two equations used to model this problem, and recall the final measures of both angles.
