Complementary means they sum to 90.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x%2B17%2B3x-20=90\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10x-3=90\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10x=93\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=93%2F10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x%2B17=7%2893%2F10%29%2B170%2F10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x%2B17=651%2F10%2B170%2F10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x%2B17=821%2F10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-20=3%2893%2F10%29-200%2F10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-20=279%2F10-200%2F10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-20=79%2F10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
