The measures of two complementary angles are 12q-9 and 8q+14. Find the measures of the angles.
\n" ); document.write( "Complementary angles add together to make 90 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "(12q-9)+(8q+14)=90
\n" ); document.write( "12q-9+8q+14=90
\n" ); document.write( "20q+5=90
\n" ); document.write( "20q+5-5=90-5
\n" ); document.write( "20q=85
\n" ); document.write( "20q/21=85/20
\n" ); document.write( "q=17/4
\n" ); document.write( "One angle measures to be:
\n" ); document.write( "12(17/4)-9
\n" ); document.write( "3(17)-9
\n" ); document.write( "51-9=42 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "The other angle measures to be:
\n" ); document.write( "8(17/4)+14
\n" ); document.write( "2(17)+14
\n" ); document.write( "24+14=38 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Sanity Check, do the angles add up to 90 degrees?
\n" ); document.write( "42+38=90 yes
\n" ); document.write( ":
