One angle is 9 more than 2 times its compliment. Find both angles.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the measure of our angle in degrees.
The 90°-x is the complementary angle. Thus you have an equation
x = 2*(90-x) + 9.
Simplify and solve it:
x = 180 - 2x + 9,
x + 2x = 189,
3x = 189,
x = = 63°.
Complementary angle is 90° - 63° = 27°.
