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?
