When two angles are complementary, it means that they sum to 90°. So:
m∠A + m∠B = 90°
Substitute in the formulas for the two angles:
8x + 27 + 6x - 21 = 90
Solve for x then plug it into the formula (6x-21) for angle B to find the measure of angle B.

asked 10/14/20A∠A and ∠B∠B are complementary angles. If m∠A=(8x+27)∘∠A=(8x+27)∘ and m∠B=(6x−21)∘∠B=(6x−21)∘, then find the measure of ∠B∠B.???
