You can put this solution on YOUR website!

\n" ); document.write( "BY DEFINITION THE SUM OF COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES IS 90 DEGREES!
\n" ); document.write( "\"C%5B1%5D%2BC%5B2%5D=90\"
\n" ); document.write( "PROBLEM STATES! \"C%5B2%5D\" IS \"4%2AC%5B1%5D-40\"
\n" ); document.write( "SUBSITUTE
\n" ); document.write( "\"C%5B1%5D%2B%284%2AC%5B1%5D-40%29+=90\"
\n" ); document.write( "COMBINE
\n" ); document.write( "\"5C%5B1%5D-40+=90\"
\n" ); document.write( "SOLVE:
\n" ); document.write( "ADD 40 TO EACH SIDE OF EQUATION
\n" ); document.write( "\"5C%5B1%5D+=130\"
\n" ); document.write( "DIVIDE EACH SIDE OF THE EQUATION BY 5
\n" ); document.write( "\"C%5B1%5D=26\"
\n" ); document.write( "FIND C[2] = (4*C[1]-40)!!!
\n" ); document.write( "\"C%5B2%5D=64\"
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK YOUR ANSWERS!! 26+64 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
