You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Two complementary angles are angles whose sum is 90, so add your two angles together, set them equal to 90 and solve.

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "( 12q - 9 ) + ( 8q + 14 ) = 90
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like Terms: 20q + 5 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 5 from both sides: 20q = 85
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 20: \"+q+=+4%281%2F4%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So your angle is \"4%281%2F4%29+degrees\" or \"%2817%2F4%29+degrees\" or 4.25 degrees
