Algebra.Com's Answer #120959 by alicealc(293)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let: \n" ); document.write( "the angle = x \n" ); document.write( "so the angle's complement = 90 - x\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "90 - x = 4x - 15 \n" ); document.write( "<=> 90 + 15 = 4x + x \n" ); document.write( "<=> 105 = 5x \n" ); document.write( "<=> x = 105/5 \n" ); document.write( "<=> x = 21\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the angle = 21 degrees \n" ); document.write( "the angle's complement = 90 - 21 = 69 degrees \n" ); document.write( " |
