Algebra.Com's Answer #462683 by Cromlix(4381)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Complementary angles = 90 degrees \n" ); document.write( "So (5x + 1) + (15x - 7) = 90 \n" ); document.write( " 5x + 1 + 15x - 7 = 90 \n" ); document.write( " Collect like terms \n" ); document.write( " Change sign as you cross the = \n" ); document.write( " 20x = 90 + 6 \n" ); document.write( " 20x = 96 \n" ); document.write( " x = 96/20 \n" ); document.write( " x = 4.8. \n" ); document.write( " 5x + 1 = 25 degrees \n" ); document.write( "15x - 7 = 65 degrees \n" ); document.write( " Total 90 degrees\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
