Two angles are complementary. The sum of the measure of the first angle and half the second angle is 73.5. Find the measures of the angles. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let one angle be x
\n" ); document.write( "other angle = 90-x
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "x+1/2*(90-x)= 73.5
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 2
\n" ); document.write( "2x+(90-x)= 147
\n" ); document.write( "2x-x+90=147
\n" ); document.write( "x=147-90
\n" ); document.write( "x=57
