Let one angle be x and the other angle be y \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 180 degree (Two angles are compliments)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2y = x - 8 (one lacks 8 degrees of being twice the other)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 2y + 8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "combining the above equations: \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 180
\n" ); document.write( "(2y + 8) + y = 180
\n" ); document.write( "2y + y = 180 - 8
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 172
\n" ); document.write( "y = 57.3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, x = 180-57.33 = 122.67\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: angles are 122.67 and 57.33\r
