recall: Two angles are Complementary when they add up to \"90\" degrees (a Right Angle right angle ).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let's one angle be \"alpha\" and other angle \"beta\", then \"alpha%2Bbeta=90\"degrees\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if measure of one angle is \"3\" degrees greater than \"twice\" the measure of the other, we know that\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"alpha=2beta%2B3\" degrees substitute in\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"alpha%2Bbeta=90\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2beta%2B3%2Bbeta=90\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3beta=90-3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3beta=87\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"beta=87%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"beta=29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and,\"alpha=2%2A29%2B3\" degrees ->\"alpha=61\" degrees \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
