Two angles are complementary.
\n" ); document.write( "One angle measures (4x + 1) degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "The other measures (5x - 16) degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "Which of the following would be an equation you could use to solve this problem?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let A = one angle which measures (4x+1)
\n" ); document.write( "let B = the other angle which measures (5x-16)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A + B = 90
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "(4x+1) + (5x-16) = 90; is the equation
\n" ); document.write( "To solve
\n" ); document.write( "9x - 15 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "9x = 90 + 15
\n" ); document.write( "9x = 105
\n" ); document.write( "x = 105/9
\n" ); document.write( "x = 11\"2%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use this value to find A & B, check by seeing if they add up to 90
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
