Complementary angles equal 90 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "x + x + 22 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 22 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 68
\n" ); document.write( "x = 34\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So 1st angle is 34 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "2nd angle is 56 degrees (34 + 22)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To check: add 34 + 56 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
