Complementary angles = 90 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Lets set up the equation just like you said it.
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "The measure of an angle--90
\n" ); document.write( "is =
\n" ); document.write( "28 degrees greater than it's compliment (let the compliment by x)--28+x
\n" ); document.write( "And, of course, the compliment itself--x
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Now, combine these and we get...
\n" ); document.write( "90 = (28 + x) + x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 31
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "The compliment angle is 31.
\n" ); document.write( "Now, plug 31 in for x for (28 + x), and we get 59
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "So the 2 angles have a measure of 31 & 59
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "CHECK
\n" ); document.write( "28 + the compliment angle + the compliment angle = 90
\n" ); document.write( "28 + 31 + 31 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "MS
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
