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( "
