Algebra.Com's Answer #490973 by algebrahouse.com(1659) You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = measure of smaller angle \n" ); document.write( "x + 20 = measure of larger angle {larger is 20 more than smaller}\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Complementary angles add up to 90°.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + x + 20 = 90 {added the two angles and set equal to 90} \n" ); document.write( "2x + 20 = 90 {combined like terms} \n" ); document.write( "2x = 70 {subtracted 20 from each side} \n" ); document.write( "x = 35 {divided each side by 2} \n" ); document.write( "x + 20 = 55 {substituted 35, in for x, into x + 20}\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "smaller angle measures 35° \n" ); document.write( "larger angle measures 55° \n" ); document.write( " For more help from me, visit: www.algebrahouse.com \n" ); document.write( " |
