Since they're complementary.

\n" ); document.write( "The difference in the measure of 2 complementary angles is 40.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A-C=40\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations together to eliminate $\"C\"$ .

\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A=130\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28A=65%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then use either equation to find $\"C\"$ .
