Question 305930: the measures of two complementary angles are (2x+2) and (3x-5). What is the measure of the smaller angle?

2X+2+3X-5=90
5X=90-2+5
5X=93
5X=93
X=93/5
X=18.6
2*18.6+2=37.2+2=39.2 DEGREES FOR THE SMALLER ANGLE.
3*18.6-5=55.8-5=50.8 DEGREES FOR THE LARGER ANGLE.
PROOF:
39.2+50.8=90
90=90
