You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Complementary angles are angles whose values, when added together, equal 90º.
\n" ); document.write( "Let angle V equal \"x\" and angle U equal \"2x-3\", as the instructions state that angle U is three less than twice angle V.
\n" ); document.write( "Now you create an equation using this.
\n" ); document.write( "(x)+(2x-3)=90
\n" ); document.write( "3x-3=90
\n" ); document.write( " +3 +3
\n" ); document.write( "3x=93
\n" ); document.write( "x=31
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in the answer to your variables.
\n" ); document.write( "x=31
\n" ); document.write( "2x-3=59
\n" ); document.write( "To check your answer, add them together and make sure they equal 90º.
\n" ); document.write( "31+59=90
\n" ); document.write( "So your final answer is:
\n" ); document.write( "Angle U=59º
\n" ); document.write( "Angle V=31º
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps! \n" ); document.write( "
