Algebra.Com's Answer #287828 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Not quite. If c and c-10 are the angles, then their sum must be 140, not 40.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2c - 10 = 140\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2c = 150 --> c = 75, so the other two angles are 75 and 65 (degrees). \n" ); document.write( " |
