two angles are complementary.one angle is 42 degrees more than one half the other. find the angles.
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 90 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "x = (1/2)y+42
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "(1/2)y + 42 + y = 90
\n" ); document.write( "(3/2)y = 48
\n" ); document.write( "y = 32
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x = (1/2)32+42 = 16+42 = 58
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
