angle 1 and 2 are complementary. If angle 1 was eight degrees less and angle 2 was fifty-seven degrees more, then they would be of equal measure. What are the measures of the two angles?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Let angle 1 be \"x\"; then angle 2 is \"90-x\"
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "x-8 = 90-x + 57
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 155
\n" ); document.write( "x = 72.5 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "90-x = 17.5 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "===============
