two angles are complementary if their sum is 90 degrees. if the measure of the
\n" ); document.write( " first angle is x degrees, and the measure of the second angle is (3x-2) degrees,
\n" ); document.write( " find the measure of each angle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x + (3x-2) = 90
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 90 + 2
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 92
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"92%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 23 degrees is the first angle
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "3(23) - 2 = 67 degrees is the 2nd angle
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
