(2x-10) + (4x-2) = 90 , two complementary angles total 90 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "6x -12 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "add 12 to each side
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 102
\n" ); document.write( "x = 17
\n" ); document.write( "The first angle (2x-10) = 2(17) - 10 = 34 -10 = 24
\n" ); document.write( "The second angle (4x-2) = 4(17) - 2 = 68 -2 = 66
\n" ); document.write( "
