the measure of two complementary angles are represented by (3x+15) and (2x-10) what is the value of x?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "If they are complementary, their sum is 90.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "3x+15 + 2x-10 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 5 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 85
\n" ); document.write( "x = 17
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Angle: 3x+15 = 3*17+15 = 66 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Angle 2x-10 = 2*17-10 = 24 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "------
