Question 991145: If a complement is 24 more than twice the angle what is the complement
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x is your angle.
90 - x is the complement of your angle.
the formula for the complement of the angle being 24 more than twice the angle is shown below:
90 - x = 2 * x + 24
add x to both sides of the equation and subtract 24 from both sides of the equation and you get:
90 - 24 = 3 * x
simplify to get:
66 = 3 * x
solve for x to get x = 22.
your angle is 22.
the complement is 90 - 22 = 68.
the complement is 24 more than twice the angle becomes:
68 = 2 * 22 + 24 which becomes:
68 = 44 + 24 which becomes:
68 = 68 which is true.
your solution is that the complement of the angle is 68.
