It means that their sum is equal to 90 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(8x - 7) + (x - 11) = 90\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "9x - 18 = 90\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 108/9 = 12, so angle A = 89 and angle B = 1 (degree).
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
