If the two angles are complementary then their sum is 90 degrees. You can write the equation to solve for z:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2816z-9%29+%2B+%284z%2B3%29+=+90\" Simplify and solve for z.
\n" ); document.write( "\"20z+-+6+=+90\" add 6 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"20z+=+96\" Divide both sides by 20.
\n" ); document.write( "\"z+=+4.8\" Substitute this into the given expressions for the two angles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"16z-9+=+16%284.8%29-9\" = 67.8 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4z%2B3+=+4%284.8%29%2B3\" = 22.2 degrees.
