Complementary angles are 2 angles that equal 90 degrees, so
\n" ); document.write( "x+x-12=90
\n" ); document.write( "2x-12=90
\n" ); document.write( "2x=102
\n" ); document.write( "x=51
\n" ); document.write( "So angle 1 is 51 degrees and angle 2 is 39 degrees(51-12)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "To check
\n" ); document.write( "51+39=90
\n" ); document.write( "90=90
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
