Complementary angles add up to 90°.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = the angle
\n" ); document.write( "90 - x = its complement\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "90 - x = 5x - 210 {the complement is equal to 210 less than five times the angle}
\n" ); document.write( "90 = 6x - 210 {added x to each side}
\n" ); document.write( "300 = 6x {added 210 to each side}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 50 {divided each side by 6}
\n" ); document.write( "90 - x = 40 {substituted 90, in for x, into 90 - x}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the angle is 50°
\n" ); document.write( "the complement is 40°
\n" ); document.write( "
