Question 985401: Two angles form a complementary pair (sum of 90 degrees), one angle is 3X - 10 the other angle is X + 8. Using an equation determine the measure of each angle. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The two angles add to 90 degrees.
3x-10+x+8=90
4x-2=90
4x=92
x=23 degrees. Substitute it into the angles.
The first angle is 59 degrees
The second angle is 31 degrees.
