\n" ); document.write( "Let x = one angle
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "3x+14 = second angle
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "definition of complementary angles:
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3x+14 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "4x+14 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 76
\n" ); document.write( "x = 19 degrees (one angle)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "second angle:
\n" ); document.write( "3x+14 = 3(19)+14 = 71 degrees \n" ); document.write( "
