Algebra.Com's Answer #14041 by mathrebel(25)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the sum of two angles is 90. \n" ); document.write( "first denote one angle as x \n" ); document.write( "then the other one, will be: measures 15 degree more than twice the measure of it's complement--> 15 + 2x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the final equation is the first angle + the second angle=90 : \n" ); document.write( "x + 15+2x = 90\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x+15=90\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x=75\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=25 which is the first angle\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and the second one is 2*25+15=65 \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check solution: 65+25=90 \n" ); document.write( " |
