Two angles are complimentary
\n" ); document.write( "this means: A+B=90
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the measure of the first anagle and one-fourth the second angle is 66degrees
\n" ); document.write( "This means: A+(1/4)*B=66
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "you have two equations in two unknowns.
\n" ); document.write( "Solve the A+B=90 for one of the angles (does not matter which, say A)
\n" ); document.write( "A=90-B
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute A=90-B into second equation
\n" ); document.write( "A+(1/4)*B=66; (90-B)+(1/4)*B=66
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "solve for B
\n" ); document.write( "90-(3/4)*B=66
\n" ); document.write( "-(3/4)*B=66-90=-24
\n" ); document.write( "B=(-24)*(-4/3)=32
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "substitute B=32 into A=90-B=90-32=58
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
