Algebra.Com's Answer #579988 by addingup(3677)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Complementary angles are those that add up to 90 degrees.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let one angle be 3(x-10), just like the problem says. The other angle is just x.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 3(x - 10) = 90 Simplify \n" ); document.write( "x + 3x - 30 = 90 Add 30, both sides. Also add x's on the left \n" ); document.write( "4x = 120 Divide both sides by 4 \n" ); document.write( "x = 30, and 3(30-10)= 60 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
