document.write( "It's just a matter of knowing what the word \"complementary\" means.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "When two angles are 'complementary' that means that when you add them\r\n" );
document.write( "you get 90°.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So when you add m∠1 and m∠2 you get 90°.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "m∠1 + m∠2 = 90°\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So we substitute 2x-10 for m∠1 and 8x+10 for m∠2, and we get:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2x-10 + 8x+10 = 90\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Solve that for x.  Then substitute what you get in 2x-10 and that will\r\n" );
document.write( "give you m∠1, and substitute what you get in 8x+10 and that will\r\n" );
document.write( "give you m∠2.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "I'll bet you can do that all by yourself!\r\n" );
