Algebra.Com's Answer #56369 by ptaylor(2198)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x= one complementary \n" ); document.write( "And x+4=the other \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+x+4=90 subtract 4 from both sides\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+x+4-4=90-4 collect like terms\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x=86 divide both sides by 2 \n" ); document.write( "x=43 degrees------------------------------one angle \n" ); document.write( "x+4=43+4=47 degrees-----------------------------the other angle\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CK\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "43+47=90 \n" ); document.write( "90=90\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "also \n" ); document.write( "47 is 4 more than 43\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps ----ptaylor \n" ); document.write( " |
