Question 825733: if two complementary angles have a measure of x-9 and 3x+15, the smaller angle has a measure of ?
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x-9)+(3x+15) = 90
x-9+3x+15 = 90
4x+6 = 90
4x = 90-6
4x = 84
x = 84/4
x = 21
-------------------------------------------------------
x-9 = 21 - 9 = 12
3x+15 = 3*21+15 = 78
So the smaller angle is 12 degrees
