Algebra.Com's Answer #113817 by Earlsdon(6294)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the angle you are tryng to find = A. \n" ); document.write( "The complement of angle A = (90-A) and 6 times this complement is 6(90-A) and 43 less than that is 6(90-A)-43, so you can write: \n" ); document.write( "A = 6(90-A)-43 Simplify and solve for A. \n" ); document.write( "A = 540-6A-43 \n" ); document.write( "A = 497-6A Add 6A to both sides. \n" ); document.write( "7A = 497 Divide both sides by 7. \n" ); document.write( "A = 71 degrees \n" ); document.write( "The complement of A = 90-A = 09-71 = 19 degrees. \n" ); document.write( " |
