Hi, \n" ); document.write( "*Note: Sum of complementary angle is 90 degrees \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Let x represent the measure of one angle. (90-x) would then represent the other \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "question states*** \n" ); document.write( "x + 2*(90-x) = 148 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "simplify and solve \n" ); document.write( "x + 180 - 2x = 148 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "-x = -32 \n" ); document.write( "x = 32 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "x = 32 degrees , its complement = 58 degrees \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "check your answer \n" ); document.write( "32 + 116 = 148 \n" ); document.write( " |
