Hello, \n" ); document.write( "We know complementary is 90 degrees so we can write an equation as: \n" ); document.write( "x represents one angle \n" ); document.write( "5x-6 represents the other one \n" ); document.write( "x+5x-6=90 \n" ); document.write( "Solve for x \n" ); document.write( "6x=96 \n" ); document.write( "x=16 \n" ); document.write( "So we know one angle is 16 degrees and the other is 74 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "Make sense? \n" ); document.write( "RJ \n" ); document.write( "www.math-unlock.com \n" ); document.write( " |
