The complememnt of an angle measures 20 degrees more than the angle. Find the number of degrees in the angle.
Sol'n:
let: x-the angle
x+20 - the complementary angle
note:the total angle for complementary angle is equal to 90.
x+(x+20)=90
2x=90-20
2x=70
x=35 degrees -----answer
x+20 = 55 degrees ----answer
