Two angles are complementary. One angle is 12degrees larger than the other . Using two variables x and y, find the size of each angle by solving a system of equations.
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations::
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 90 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "x = y + 12
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"x\" and solve for \"y\"::
\n" ); document.write( "y+12 + y = 90
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 78
\n" ); document.write( "y = 39 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "x = 90-y = 90-39 = 51 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "You are correct.
