The measure of two complementary angles are 16z-9 and 4z+3.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the measures of the angles.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Two complementary angles add up to 90, so you have a simple equation
\n" ); document.write( "(16z-9) + (4z+3) = 90
\n" ); document.write( "Remove brackets, combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "16a + 4z - 9 + 3 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "20z - 6 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "20z = 90 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "z = \"96%2F20\"
\n" ); document.write( "z = 4.8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the angles using 4.8 for z
\n" ); document.write( "Angle 1:
\n" ); document.write( "16(4.8) - 9 =
\n" ); document.write( "76.8 - 9 = 67.8 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Angle 2:
\n" ); document.write( "4(4.8) + 3 =
\n" ); document.write( "19.2 + 3 = 22.2 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check that 67.8 + 22.2 = 90, as it should
\n" ); document.write( ":
