Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x=the smaller angle
\n" ); document.write( "Then 2x+6=larger angle\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Our equation to solve is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+2x+6=90 subtract 6 from both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+2x+6-6=90-6 collect like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x=84 divide both sides by 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=28 degrees--------------the smaller angle\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x+6=2*28+6=62 degrees -------------------the larger angle\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CK\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "28+62=90
\n" ); document.write( "90=90
\n" ); document.write( "also
\n" ); document.write( "62=2*28+6
\n" ); document.write( "62=62\r
