Algebra.Com's Answer #467759 by Cromlix(4381)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Other angle = x \n" ); document.write( "Larger angle = 10 + 3x \n" ); document.write( "Complementary angles = 90 degrees \n" ); document.write( "So, x + (10 + 3x) = 90 \n" ); document.write( "x + 10 + 3x = 90 \n" ); document.write( "4x = 90 - 10 \n" ); document.write( "4x = 80 \n" ); document.write( " x = 20 \n" ); document.write( "Other angle = 20 degrees \n" ); document.write( "Larger angle = 70 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps. \n" ); document.write( ":-) \n" ); document.write( " |
