Algebra.Com's Answer #265042 by ericareneee(4)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! if the first angle is x, then the complement is 5x+9. \n" ); document.write( "complement means that both angles added together equals 90 \n" ); document.write( "so the equation is x+5x+9=90\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms 6x+9=90 \n" ); document.write( "then subtract 9 on both sides 6x=81 \n" ); document.write( "divide 6 x=13.5 \n" ); document.write( "this is the first angle.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the second angle is 5x+9, so substitute 13.5 for x \n" ); document.write( "5(13.5)+9=76.5\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check: 13.5+76.5=90\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the first angle is 13.5 and it's complement is 76.5. \n" ); document.write( " |
