Complementary angles total 90 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "A = one angle
\n" ); document.write( "B = another angle.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "A+B = 90 because they are complementary.
\n" ); document.write( "So, A = 90-B.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "A = 2B + 18
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "A = A
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "90-B = 2B + 18
\n" ); document.write( "90 = 3B + 18
\n" ); document.write( "72 = 3B
\n" ); document.write( "3B = 72
\n" ); document.write( "B = 24
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "A = 90-B
\n" ); document.write( "A = 90-24
\n" ); document.write( "A = 66
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Always check your work.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2B+ 18 = 2(24) + 18 = 48+18 = 66
\n" ); document.write( "Correct.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Answer:
\n" ); document.write( "The two angles are: 24 and 66.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
